Viola and Moira are definately discovered by me. Viola is a relative from way back and Moira is just a name I like.

Viola is the only one that I really like, the others I don't like at all.

I know a baby who was born in March named Moira (she was named after her grandmother) and I also know a preschool aged girl by this name, so it's not completely unheard of. I don't think I've ever met anyone with any of the other names. Viola might catch on at some point since Violet is coming back. Jorien and Neimi seem a little too "foreign" to me to catch on in the US. Klarisse sounds dated to me but perhaps someone will discover it and it will catch on.

Viola is nice.

I love Moira!! Pronounced either Maura or Moy-ra. Beautiful!

Moira is beautiful and Celtic
Jorien could grow on me
Neimee: Where does this name come from? Also, at first look at would pronounce it as "ney-mee" or as "nie-mee".
Viola: A lovely flower name.
Klarisse: I don't like this spelling. It looks French, therefore Clarisse would be the natural way to spell it. I like Clarisse and Clarissa.

Moira~ I go back and forth on it. Sometimes I think it's really nice, and other times, I really dislike it. It's a teeter-totter thing with Moira and Maura on either end--when I like one, I dislike the other.
Jorien~ Not all that attractive to my ears, and I really dislike names that end in -ien.
Neimi~ I don't like it (the pronunciation's ambiguous--I'd say it "NAY-mee" on first glance), but I do think Naima is pretty. Unfortunately, I find it a bit unusable thanks to Naima-the-dumb-chick who won America's Next Top Model two seasons ago, but I do love the John Coltrane tune of the same name.
Viola~ I really like it, but that's a recent development that can be easily traced to my current favourite thing ever. ;) I think it's very pretty, but I think it's going to grow in popularity rather soon.
Klarisse~ Clarisse is one of my favourites, but I think Klarisse looks really unfortunate.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I love Moira and Viola. I agree that both of them are terribly underappreciated for such lovely names.

I don't like Jorien or Neimi. The sounds aren't appealing to me. I do like Moira, Viola, and Klarisse (prefer Clarisse or Clarice), though.

I know a girl named Moira, and for some reason, I've always hated it.

I like Moira a lot, but somehow I prefer the spelling Maire, even though of course it's more confusing for people unfamiliar with the name. :-) I also like Viola.

Moira - I've seen this enough on the boards to think it will take off.

---

Jorien - I don't really like it, because it looks made up to me.

---

Neimi- I like this, but it's fairly similiar to other popular names. But it won't take off.

---

Viola - NMS, but okay.

---

Klarisse - too German. Clarisse, however, isn't of a popular sound though.

Sorry to post again. I wasn't logged in to edit on my last post...

Where did you get Jorien from? What does it mean and are you prn. it JOR-ee-inn?

Moira, I sort of like it. Sometimes I like it very much and sometimes I don't.
Jorien, I used to know a a girl named this, I loved this name from the beginning. (she pron. it yoh-REEN)
Neimi, nms
Viola, nms
Klarisse, I dislike this very much

LOVING Moira. Jorien is interesting. I think I like it. Neimi is nms. Viola has no appeal for me. Klarisse sounds sort of like an old lady. I prefer Karissa or Klarissa which is similar.
