in reply to a message by Lissa Hannah
GIRLS:
Joanne: I like it, she will stand out among all Emmas and Madisons. But I'd like Joanna even better.
Leagha: This one looks ugly. Very hard for a non-English speaker to guess the pronounciation. Leah would have been so much better!
Katelyn Brenda: Katelyn is pretty but boring. I like Brenda as mn, she will stand out a little from all Katelyn Grace and Katelyn Rose
Diana: Beautiful classic
Lily Marie: Very pretty
Sophia Grace: Nice but her parents don't have much imagination.
Bailee Elizabeth: I hate Bailee
Tiarra Faye: I like the mn better than the fn
