: Hermina - it's pretty. I like the nn Mina. HOwever, it kind of reminds me of hermit crabs.
: Luana - sorry, no matter how you slice it, this is totally redneck where I'm from
: Kaitlin - eek. I'd go with the spelling Katelyn-- it looks less contrived to me. What about Catalin, Cataline, Catrin or Keelin?
: Eve - beautiful.
: Elinor - I freaking LOVE the nn Nell.
: Claire - It's OK. Kind of bland and played out.
: Heather - This is one of those names of my generation that I will never warm up to. It's had its day in the sun, and I don't think it will return for a while.
: Jamia or Jamie - how do you pronounce this? Jamie-a, or ja MYA a? Jamie is kinda cute, although it's another name of my generation that I'm kind of sick of. I think it's natural for people to think that names from their generation are done to death.
: Kara or Cara - I've always had a soft spot for these. I like Cara better than Kara-- Cara means "friend" in Irish Gaelic, and "dear" in Italian.
