Lol, she does really well with names. I think she picks up some from me in that respect.
Olive was by far her favorite of the ones she suggested and she does like
Olivette. I hadn't told her before that
Paloma means dove, but when I told her a few minutes ago, her eyes lit up and she got really excited.
The French pronunciation of
Helene does seem to work best in this combo, and that's the one I had in mind when I typed it. I had the same feeling as you do about
Maureen, but I love it so much I couldn't resist. I think
Sylvie /
Sylvia would work well in lieu of
Sylvaine. :D
I'm glad you like some!
