Ilaria
What do you think of Ilaria? I'm thinking of using it for a girl in a story who was named after her Italian grandmother who happens to be energetic, daring, crazy, thrill seeking and naturally cool--does it fit her? Also, who would you pronounce it? Il-ar-ee-a? Il-ər-ee-a (this pronunciation reminds me of malaria)? And do you think that it might be confusing with the I and then the L beside each other? Finally, do you have any nicknames? Thanks!

I like it! I think it's il-AHR-ee-a. And the Il thing is fine as long as it's in a serif font. I have a character named Ilustra, nn Ilu. Ilaria could have nn Ila, or Aria, or Lari.
