[Opinions] Re: WDYT of these Portuguese Names?
I like:
Clara
Fia (although this seems slightly nicknamish to me)
Iris
Isadora
Ligia - there is a girl on Janice Dickenson's modeling agency wit this name, she pronounces it Lee-juh I believeAbel
Antonio - Whch syllable is stressed here? is it an-TOE-nee-ooh or an-toe-NEE-ooh?
Cruz - but not that pronunciation just because it sounds like crush
David
Elias - is the first syllably pronounced like Eli or Ellie? Either way I like this one best
Rio - nickname for Rodrigo perhaps?
Rodrigo
Rui - same as Rio. Also is this one syllable or two?
