I really like Sarina and pronounce it that way.
Elanie and Eléa are nice.
Elanie and Eléa are nice.
Océane Lou Chanel - Océane is a big GP of mine and I love Lou as a nn for Louisa, but Chanel just sounds so tacky to me.
Vanessa Sarina Flora - Too many A endings, imo, but all the names are lovely individually, especially Flora which is a favorite of mine.
Jean-David Bernard Albert Dov Berl (see Berel) - Ooh, it's a mouthful but I love it.
Stéphanie Wedia Marie (ste-fah-nee ve-dyah? we-dyah?) - I'm not a fan of Stephanie, but Wedia Marie is very pretty, regardless of pronunciation.
