How do you feel about Candida? And all the Gwen and Gwyn names in Welsh, Blanche in French. I dislike Bella, just the sound of it, though I had two wonderful great-aunts named Isabella and called Bella; I'd be fine with Candida, though in modern English usage it's more like 'candid', meaning 'honest, truthful' than 'white'. Bela and Běla are unfamiliar to me; are they pronounced differently?
Candida is unfortunately the scientific name for yeast (a fungus, made famous by yeast infections).
That has never bothered me at all.
Candida reminds me of Canada
Gwen / Gwyn names are fine, some I like (like Gwendolen) some are just okay. I really like Gwythyr, which is not one of those names but it starts similar to Gwyn. It means "victory".
Blanche is nice, I first said this name as blahn-shuh but I also like the correct pronounciation blahnsh. Though the English pronounciation I do not like.
Bela is a variant of Bella I believe, beh-lah or bay-lah (ay being like the sound in may but with less y sound). Like the e in Stepan or Petro.
Běla is byeh-lah. Hungarian Béla also could be a variant of Běla.
