Buon giornoI think some of your list that you would like the meanings of are already on the main list. If you had clicked on the *Link Names*, the names on the main board would change color, then you could click on the highlighted names.As for pronunciation, I'll take a stab at some of the feminine names:Agatha = Ag-uh-thuh
Echo = Eh-ko (English short e, English long o)
Maxine = Makseen (English short a)
Rowena = Ro-ween-uh (English long o)Evyenia @ Ehv-yehn-ee-uh (I may be wrong on this one)I hope this has helped a tiny bit, Ana.Arrivaderci
