Wow, love [name_f]Violante[/name_f]! Are [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] and [name_f]Celine[/name_f] pronounced the [name_u]French[/name_u] way too or just [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]? Mirea is also really interesting, it might be worth suggesting it on the names we missed thread to be added to the nameberry database!

Ooh this is really interesting - thank you for sharing!

That’s a big leap that Celine’s taken - and [name_f]Violante[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] too!!! Has there been some kind of popular media reference that’s influenced that, do you think?
