Cybele, Jordan, Avalon
Replies
I LOVE Avalon, I think it's awesome.
I feel pretty much the opposite about Jordan.
Cybele is really nice. For a long time I thought it was pronounced without the extra E sound. I knew of a girl called Cybelle who pronounced it like that - sib-BELL. To me that sounds nicer, but if you wanted the proper sib-uh-lee, the spelling would have to be like Cybelly or something. Sibalee. Cybelee. It completely changes the feel of the name. I'd stick with Cybele.
