How do you feel about Candida? And all the Gwen and Gwyn names in Welsh, Blanche in French. I dislike Bella, just the sound of it, though I had two wonderful great-aunts named Isabella and called Bella; I'd be fine with Candida, though in modern English usage it's more like 'candid', meaning 'honest, truthful' than 'white'. Bela and Běla are unfamiliar to me; are they pronounced differently?
