HelpRe: Three more sad BAs
in reply to a message by Array
Being reminded of RHPS every time you look at your kid is not necessarily a bad thing...a little unnerving for the child, however. ;-)
As for the names:
Everrstien Lyle - "Everrstien" sounds to me like it should be a river in the Highlands, for some reason, so "Everrstein Lyle" could be the eccentric bloke that lived beside it in a little hut. The kind of man that gets a mention when you're alone with a local boy in the woods at night, and you hear a blood-curdling wail. "Ah, that's just ol' Everrstein Lyle. Moonlight excites him..."
Asyah Sahravee - I can't even get my tounge around the first name. Az-yah? Ass-yah? I quite like the sound of "Sahravee" (sah-rah-vee, I assume?), but not the spelling.
Siomarah Alilyonna - Siomarah sounds like the offspring of rice pudding and that girl out of The Ring. Alilyonna sounds like one of those made up words that you get on adverts for shampoo.

I'm betting...(m)
That Asyah is actually a very confused Asia. There's some sort of joke here about "Never get into a land war in Asyah" but I'm too lazy to find it.
Siomarah looks like it's a form of Xiomara. I actually kind of like it--the parents have taken into account the fact that the average yuppie won't have a clue how to pronunce Xiomara. I think Siomara would be very nice. The only problem is that with the stupidly superfluous H, it looks less like a name and more like a jumble of letters.

Or the Arabic name Aisha
also spelt Aïsha and Ayesha. There is a great song by French singer Khaled, Aïsha.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
