[Opinions] Re: And another list! - old French names, Yiddish...
in reply to a message by Mrs Claire
I like...
Rivki / Rivka - I find both of these interesting, I kind of like them
Nicolas - can't say I like Nico though
Alexandra
Katie
Nadja - though people in America have the hardest time understanding that the 'j' is pronounced as a 'y'. I've known a girl named Anja for years and every year in class she has to tell the teacher how to pronounce her name. They just never get it.
Yetta reminds me of a Yeti.
Jean-Claude is very boring, the first thing I think of when I think of french names, next to Pierre.
Ahmed is french, really? I always knew it as an arabic name.

Ahmed is not French, not all names there are French. It was just an example of the kind of name inside the post :)
