I adore [name_f]Reverie[/name_f] - such a lovely name with a (I think) lovely meaning and association. I suppose that it does sound similarly to the word ‘referee’ - I’ve never made that association myself though. I say REH-vuh-ree (I say referee with emphasis on the last syllable, not the first…)
As for similar sounding/looking names: [name_f]Verity[/name_f], [name_f]Beverly[/name_f], Everild, [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Severine[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Reveka[/name_f], [name_u]Avery[/name_u]…?
