Re: July/August BAs

I completely get the linguistic differences thing. I think Noa-minus-the-h just makes the feminine vibe of the name more obvious to me for some reason. For some reason I went through a phase of loving Yushua, Ziya etc a few years back, and, as I've already said, dude, Nikola, so it can't be the 'a' ending... hmmm. It's just a vibe I get. That said, eh, name genders are pretty fluid nowadays, so, yeah, the boundaries are blurred.
I went to Croatia a few years back, if I'd known that there were so many Zvonimirs I would have kept my eyes peeled for them and done a name geek dance. I think it's just so cool. It's probably z +v + slavic cool that does it for me.
I'm 99% sure most Brits and all Italians avoid saying lasagne (and Sanja) like my sister does, because she's such a lazy talker. I just wish I could get the association out of my head, because the name is pretty nice besides that.
