I knew a girl named Pilar (Pee-LAR) and it really grew on me. At first I thought it was a really unusual name, but started liking it more and more as I got to know her and heard it more.
A friend of mine just named their little girl Aislinn but pronounce is EYES-lin. Like Iceland without the "D". I don't like how they pronounce it since it's Irish and supposed to be pronouces ASH-lean or ASH-lin. Even AYES-lin would be better.
I also had a friend named Lakin (Lake-in), actually, I knew two- one guy and one girl. Thought it was a really cute name!
Those are kind of random, but I hope it at least helps get the juices going! Good luck, I definitely know how hard it is to find a name that really sings to you. We're trying to find a boys name that works for us.
