Re: Lada, Anaïs, Cleo, and Leda
in reply to a message by Piccadilly
Lada = cheap Russian car. I didn't know it was a name! Also, not sure it works in non-rhotic British English, because it sounds exactly like larder.
Leda has a similar problem, sounding like leader. Also, never having met anyone with the name, all I can think of is the whole swan rape thing - and the unpleasant ephebophile photographer character in I Capture the Castle.
Anaïs is pretty, but the pronunciation is not intuitive in English. So I'd go for Cleo. It's cute and simple.
