Well, I asked about this name before, and people told me they'd heard it pronounced EE-lin, while I was pronouncing it EL-in, lol. Anyway, I like it fine. I think it's simple and pretty and I like it a lot more than
Arabella, which is poofy and fluffy and sugary and yuck (sorry).
I also agree with you that correcting the pronunciation of a name takes one second, and that it's not a big deal. My name is fairly common, it's a name everyone in the US has heard of, but I have to correct people all the time because of that one extra letter. Use what you like, and teach the kid how to politely correct people. No big thing.
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. This message was edited 12/29/2017, 8:39 AM
