Help[Opinions] Re: Irene & Eileen
in reply to a message by Ismene
Irene - lovely, sophisticated, and underused
Irena - see, I'd pronounce *this* one eye-REE-na, and Irina as ee-REE-na, since Irina is Russian and every Irina I know says it that way. Interesting. ee-REH-na is very counterintuitive to me, and I prefer the aesthetics of Irina.
Irina - with the Russian pronunciation, adore it.
Eirene - love it, but would probably pronounce it eye-REE-nee.
Eileen - I think Eileen is a quietly misunderstood name. Very pretty.
Aileen - Wuornos
Aline - reminds me of saline. I prefer Alina.
