HelpRe: Thoughts on these extinct girl names?
in reply to a message by Manipura
Apparently Manila randomly appeared in 1898-1899, then disappeared. I think it's a pretty name, though.
Oh, that explains Paralee! I was really confused by that one.
I always assumed Gilda was pronounced like the character on My Little Pony, wow. I never even looked at the BTN pronunciation.

That seems like too big of a coincidence for Manila not to be related to the place in the Philippines, then. Curious. (1898 was the end of the Spanish-American War and Philippine Revolution; 1899 was the beginning of the Philippine-American War.)
Apart from that, I guess it's a bit like Manuela.

It could be related to that! That is the first thing I think of when I hear Manila.
