Re: Felicia, Olivia, Eira or Athena? (more)
Really? I'd have thought the 'r' in the middle of Eira would be more difficult for a child to pronounce.I met a 2 y.o. Athena the other day and I thought it was cute on herhttp://www.behindthename.com/pnl/167578

Hmm, I wasn't even thinking about pronunciation, just that a kid would have to grow into the name itself. With that in mind though... with little-kid pronunciation, wouldn't "a-see-na" be just as likely as "ei-wa"?

Semi off topic, but a friend in high school had a toddler age beother named Rourke. He needed to do speech for his Rs and so called himself WO-uhk.
