[Opinions] Aleka and Amira
What do you think of Aleka (ah-LEH-kah)? It's Hawaiian for Alice, even though it's not in the database. I've been thinking about it lately and I think I like it.Opinions? What do you think of Aleka Leilani? I'm not Hawaiian and wouldn't use it, so it's theoretical only.Also, what do you think of Amira (ah-MEER-ah)? I prefer the Hebrew meaning. I do prefer Mira but I like Amira as well. Opinions on that?Thank you!

Aleka is nms, but it makes me think of River Phoenix (Joaquin Phoenix's brother, who died in the 1990s). Before he died, he was in a band with their sister called Aleka's Attic. Not sure why that was the name, but that's definitely what I associate it with. Amira is kind of pretty, though not a huge favorite. I have a co-worker, who is Russian, whose name is Emira and she's a sweetheart. :)

I like Amira and also the similar Amina. I think it's very pretty. :)Aleka reminds me of Alecto, one of the three Furies, so it doesn't appeal to me at all. I wouldn't say no to Alice Leilani, though. :DArray

"Yes," said Laura.A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Thanks!I like Amina very much as well. Thanks!Hmm, I hadn't even thought of Alecto. Ugh.Alice Leilani, however, is stunning! I wouldn't think of you as either an Alice person or a Leilani person, but I am pleasantly surprised.Thanks!

Oh, I'm an Alice person, definitely. Alice Primrose is my favourite, but Alice Leilani would be quite attractive. :) Leilani is one I prefer for other people's children, but I do like it quite a bit. I couldn't possibly resist a name that sounds so thoroughly like this: http://www.art.net/studios/hackers/strata/hibiscus/red-hibiscus.JPGArray (has never seen a real hibiscus but imagines they smell almost as nice as stargazer lilies :)

Thanks!I wasn't asking which you liked better, actually. I was just asking for opinions, which you gave. Thanks!
