Hello! None of these are vital corrections/additions, but:

  • In addition to being an alternate transcription of [name_f]Lusine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucine[/name_f] is also the [name_f]French[/name_f] form of [name_f]Lucina[/name_f]! In this context, it is pronounced “loo-seen”, as opposed to the Armenian “loo-see-NEH”. (And, if you’re feeling a little nature-y, you might want to add that [name_f]Lucine[/name_f] is also a vernacular name used for various types of seashells! :slightly_smiling_face:)

  • The pronunciation for [name_f]Vérane[/name_f] is currently listed as “VEH-rah-nee”, however, the usual [name_f]French[/name_f] pronunciation is closer to “VEH-rhan”! (“VEH-rah-nee” might be used in English?)

  • [name_f]Marjolaine[/name_f] is not a variant of [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], but a nature name literally meaning “marjoram” in [name_f]French[/name_f]! As such, it may be more logically linked as a variant of [name_f]Marjoram[/name_f], haha.
