Help[Opinions] Teresina, Cilla, Isannah
Wdyt? It was the name of a character in the children/teen book 'Midnight Magic' by Avi, and I've always had a soft spot for it.
Also, while I'm on the subject of literary names, wdyt of Cilla and Isannah, from 'Johnny Tremain'? I love Cilla, but sometimes it reminds me of Silia (hairs inside the fallopian tube?). As for Isannah, I have no idea how to pronounce it.

I don't really like Cilla. I also think of cilia hair cells, and also of Cilla Black who is an old TV host here, and that definitely ruins the name for me!
Teresina is pretty but I think I prefer Teresa.

Isannah
Definitely reminds me of Johnny Tremain! That's where I first heard it. I've always pronounced it "eye-ZANN-a". Not sure if that's right.

I don't like them. They sound like made-up fantasy names. I'd pronounce Isannah "is-AN-nah". To me it just seems like a variant of Hannah/Susannah.

I don't much care for Teresina; all I hear is "TERRACE-ina"
I prefer Cinna to Cilla but it's interesting. Sela (SEE-lah) is a favorite of mine and not too far off actually.
Isannah I like :) I had this crazy made up FN/LN combo stuck in my head for DAYS and I have no idea where it came from but I feel like I will always remember it - Issani Kuwea-Apor ("iss-AH-nee koo-WAY-uh uh-por. So now I have a weird liking of Ishani and like sounding names
