Re: I birth announcements
in reply to a message by Sofia
Inigo *is* being used for a boy's fn -- yay! Ivo too? I must run and buy my lotery ticket now. :-) I've been waiting for Isaac to become more popular and it looks as though his time has arrived, in the U.K. at least.
Isla is enchanting. And those Isla combinations are great. Ivy, Iris and Imogen always please me on a BA list. Feminine "i" names are so quirky and unexpected, except for good ol' Isabelle. I never tire of her or her variants.
I wish I were more of an Ivan fan. Despite years of study, my mind automatically gives Ivan and "EYE-vun" sound, instead of the obvious "ee-VAHN," which I do like. I just can't get that clunky Western / English pronunciation out of my head. :-/ Ivano is kind of neat though. And Iva ("EE-vuh") is lovely.
Thanks for sharing!
