HelpRe: Okay, the ones I like (m)
in reply to a message by Ciarda Rayne
Believe me, it took me some time to go through all the database! It didn't help that I had to break it up into two sessions because of a school lesson. But I was happy to do it. :-)
Pru - No, it doesn't remind me of "prune". I prefer Prue actually, as it looks more complete, but I was sticking to three letters
Mai - I don't think this is pronounced like May, but I don't know how to pronounce it properly either
Tal - Nope, doesn't remind me of "towel". I pronounce it TAL, like Al with a T. I forgot, but this is also a ST name, albeit one used for a couple of rather minor/one-episode characters so the connection isn't really strong (hence why I forgot). One was a Bajoran woman

I prefer Prue as well.
I pronounce Mai, as My, but not sure if its correct
And I pronounce Tal the same way, however other people may not.
Thanks again Miranda!
BTW, How would you pronounce Taj, I just found out that Liv & Mia have a brother named that. As well as a sister named Chelsea.

I know exactly how I would pronounce it, but I'm not sure how to write it. You know how you say Taj Mahal? That's the way I say Taj.
"Taj Mahal" probably means "Crown of the Palace" (literally, "Crown Palace"). Taj is the word meaning "Crown".
There's an alternate theory, but I'll let Wikipedia's article explain it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_Mahal. Be sure to follow the link to Mumtaz Mahal's bio for more on the lady who inspired the Taj Mahal.

I didn't even think of Taj Mahal, haha. But that's how I was pronouncing it anyhow. I was debating if it was correct though since sometimes j's are pronounced as i's, so I thought it might be similar to Tai.
