Help[Opinions] Re: Brigitte and Liv
in reply to a message by Rachel Shay
I love Brigitte, both the French ("bri-ZHEET") and the German ("bri-GHEE-tuh") pronunciations. I think you are going more for the French version, so I can pass along a wonderful combo I met in real life: Brigitte Camille. I never used to like the name camille until I saw it in this combination. (That's the mark of a great combo, to me.)
I'm as name-nerdy as it gets and I pronounce Liv as "liv." I know it should be pronounced "leev" but I can only see that pronunciaiton coming off as pretentious in the real work. Some names just sound different in different languages and there's no point swimming against the stream. Other names I would make the effort. But not with Liv. (Go figure.)
I will not choose between the two until you end your petty, illegal and discriminatory listing practices. Hmphf. (Tongue set squarely in cheek.) Why limit yourself? I just don't get that at all. Doesn't a shorter list hamper your ability to make suggestions / combinations?

The list...
I have an excel sheet with ALL the names I like [including ones I'm thinking about, which has both Liv and Brigitte on it], but for some reason I like having an even amount on my BTN list. I dunno, I like seeing an even number up in my corner. And if I want to offer combo help, it's so not helpful to have waaaay more of one gender name than of the other gender.
(but if you're really worried about it, you can suggest a boy name for me ;])

Tut, tut. All is right under the heavens. Now that I know you have a broad-minded, all-embracing, kumbaya of a name list I can sleep soundly tonight.
:-D
