[Opinions] Re: Lavanya
I dislike it. I don't like how it looks, and it seems that it's said LAA-van-ya, which I dislike. la-VAN-ya, like Lasagne, is worse though. The combination of sounds just doesn't land for me, I don't like the spelling, and the meaning isn't interesting - it's an all-round fail for me.

I was instinctively pronouncing it like la-VAHN-yuh, darn. LAA-van-ya isn't as pretty.
