AMira is kind of pretty, though around here "a mirror" is usually rendered in a way that makes it very similar to Amira. Odette is ugly but at least it's only the middle name.

Ishmael is awful, so awful that I'm wondering if these people are just using Ishmael as the baby's "call name" till he's born, either to keep the real name they've chosen a secret or because they haven't decided on one yet. It reminds me of some people I know who called their baby Ishkabibble before it was born because they hadn't picked a name, and when they did they wanted it to be a surprise. (They named the kid Elora, I think. Or Eloria or something like that.)
