I used to work with an Evaney, which is also pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846436 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:45:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 846436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: yup. I love the name Sofia but she said with it being in too five she wouldn't use it. </p> <p>That is a cute name- growing on me! I'll run it by her :)</p> <p>@googly-eyes: same. That's usually not a big deal to me if I love the name. I am always correcting people on my name (spelling, pronunciation) but I love my name so I never minded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846398 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:26:51 +0000 googly-eyes 846398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! Of course it would have to be explained (the pronunciation which I don't see as a big deal.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846388 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:22:33 +0000 mrsjazz 846388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Is she looking for a unique name? </p> <p>I know a couple of Jimena's, but they all spell it with a J :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846380 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:20:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 846380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: this is true.. But I do think its hard for her :( her top names, though pretty in both languages, are pronounced differently in either language. There are really no bilingual names pronounced the same in both languages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846375 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:18:14 +0000 stargal 846375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: haha so true :) but you said that to your sister its important that the name works bilingually. honestly, i didn't know how it was pronounced until i saw your parentheses so i think it would be hard for someone who wasn't Latino to know how to say it. its a pretty name though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846335 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:01:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 846335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: hey that's the name of a little girl I've babysat for years! She was adopted from Colombia, and they kept that name as her middle name and gave her a bilingual first name :)</p> <p>But I think it may have been chee-mayn-uh.</p> <p>@stargal: not necessarily for a Latina ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846327 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:59:00 +0000 stargal 846327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cute and I never heard it before either! but I think it would get butchered by people and be annoying to tell people over and over how to say it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846321 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:57:50 +0000 MsLipGloss 846321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I met a Columbian named Ximena (hih-May-nuh). I thought that was pretty cool, especially with the X! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846290 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:48:44 +0000 matador84 846290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is a pretty name, I haven't heard it before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846256 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:40:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 846256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: @Mrs. Champagne: interesting. You know you're probably right that generally in Spanish it would be pronounced that way!! I should spell it for my sister (fluent in Spanish) and see what she thinks. It's super important to her to find a name that works well bilingually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846250 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:38:44 +0000 mrsjazz 846250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Yeah, I thought it would be pronounced that way, too, especially in Spanish. I like it with that pronunciation but not the Evan-ee-sha way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846232 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:34:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 846232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute! I love the name Evan. I do think it would be mispronounced a lot though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846230 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:34:51 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 846230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: really cool name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846225 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:33:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 846225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: oh that's pretty too! But yeah, my patient pronounced it even-ee-sha :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846222 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:32:49 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 846222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: pretty!! but i thought it would be pronounced more like: Evan-ee-see-yuh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-2#post-846212 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:30:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 846212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evenicia</p> <p>(Evan-ee-sha)</p> <p>I had a patient today from Central America with this name and in her Latina accent it sounded so pretty! Definitely different, but gorgeous!</p> <p>I sent it to my sister who is pg with a little girl (she is married to a Latino!). She had never heard it before! </p>
