Re:I meant exactly what I wrote. Most of the names listed look and sound like a young girl still in or barely out of high school would give their child.

Re:Yea, I just grad. in June from HS. But do you mean that because they're stupid and different or because nowadays young girls like the more unique, different names? That's what I meant when I asked what do you mean.

I asked how Mireia was pronounced a while ago.I was told it was mee-RAY-uh with the rolled R. Out of my American mouth it usually comes out mih-RAY-uh, with no rolled R.I love the sound of Mireia. It's actually on my own list of favorites.Melissa
