I'm reading "The Danish Girl", and this was the name of a man who transitioned into a woman named Lili Elbe. Here is a Wiki link, if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lili_Elbe

Anyway, what do you think of Einar? I'd never heard it before, and I kind of like it.

Bonus Question: What do you think of Lili?

Never heard of Einar before, really like the meaning of it though!

Personally prefer the spelling Lily/Lilly

Not sure how to pronounce Einar is it Eye-nar or Ee-nar?
Lili is too common and boring

I know an Einar who pronounces it EYE-nar.

Meh, in Denmark it's an old-man-name and not in the retro trendy way. I don't like it.

Lili is sweet, though.
