[Opinions] Re: Jake, Evelyn, Lena & Cinema
I love Jacob without a nn but I dislike Jake immensely. I know 2 dogs called Jake for a start so that is my immediate association, but I also know so many kids called Jake from my age group down to my little brothers' age groups. I love Evelyn...it is so pretty! I know it is getting more popular but I am yet to meet a little Evelyn.Lena is gorgeous as well. I prefer is pronounced lay-nah but lee-na is cute too.I really don't like Cinema...it screams trashy to me. I can tolerate Cinnamon which is a similar sound though.

I agree that Cinnamon is better than Cinema. My mother used to know a little girl named Cinnamon. When I first heard the name, I was kind of shocked that someone would use the word "cinnamon" as a first name, but it seems tolerable now. Just not something I would use.

Yeah when I lived in New Zealand I had a friend named Cinnamon that lived down the road in a bus with her family. Her parents were kind of hippy-ish...I think her mother may have been into holistic medicine and her dad an artist (I was only 6 or 7 at the time). All of the kids had fairly unusual names but I didn't think much of it at the time. All I remember was playing with dolls with her and the brilliant colour of her hair...it was this gorgeous rich auburn colour. :)
