I agree. As an educator I’d still use it if I heard the family using it but I wouldn’t see where it came from

spelling for the pronunciation eh-veil-e-oh when you live in America?
- evelio
- evalio

Evelio is the legit spelling but I wonder if Americanizing it will make pronunciation easier ? And the spelling isn’t bad either way. Hm

conflicted because [name_m]Evelio[/name_m] would likely swing “eh vey lee oh), and Evalio “eh VAL e’yo.” should be an easy fix either way!!

been quietly wondering this
when thinking about “I’m X’s parent” or voting in “X is ___'s parent” polls…
- it’s based on what feels right and if you can’t tell the difference they’re either all fine or all wrong because when you know you know
- (at least when voting) it’s which one I would expect to see if that person posted a birth announcement
- it’s based on what flows right/sounds best
- (maybe specifically when saying it for your own list) if it feels awkward to say then it’s not right
- (with your own list) if it makes you feel happy to say then it’s right
- other/I will explain this to you

I feel like I could say I’m jksdjlvjlsd’s mom and it doesn’t necessarily feel much different than names on my shortlist??? I guess I could really analyze my tone but idk. the only names it’s really ruled out are ones where I feel like I have to do a fake accent to pronounce it (sorry Manon)
on a totally different note
- hypothetical sisters Eve + Lucy should stay a sisterset of 2
- Eve + Lucy should have a sister
- Eve + Lucy should have a brother
- Eve + Lucy should be Eve + Lucie

For others, it depends on how many options they allow. If it’s only one, I’ll try to pick a name that I know isn’t their #1 because I know that I’m interested in what names people associate with me apart from just my top names. If it’s multiple, I guess it’s a combination of the birth announcement option and what 
feels right . For myself, it’s entirely what feels right. Idk how else to describe it.

“Pearlie” was a somewhat common name/nickname for men a century or so ago. I actually love it.

Hm so I stopped voting on “X is Y’s parent” polls because my perspective is really wrong and wouldn’t help anyone at all. Basically if your name is [name_f]Emily[/name_f] or [name_m]Matt[/name_m] I’m not going to pick [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] (too uncommon) or [name_f]Héloïse[/name_f] (too “foreign”) for your child. It has nothing to do with the person’s style, I just can’t imagine them in the same sentence. But as I said it’s not a sensible perspective.

Okay, just humor me and pick all the ones you like (either as firsts, middles, or gps – this is for a character so their usability doesn’t really matter)
pronunciations
Jael ~ “jay-ehl”
Sky ~ just like the English word
Maelily ~ just like the English words “may” + “lily”
Loveday ~ just like the English words “love” + “day”
Elin ~ “ee-lihn”
Linnet ~ “lih-nett”
Bindi ~ “bihn-dee”
Pipaluk ~ “pip-uh-luke”
Behati ~ “bee-ah-tee”
Dilara ~ “dih-lar-uh”
Adairis ~ “ah-dah-eed-eez” (but the ‘d’ sound in ‘eed’ is just a tap of the tongue, like a singular Spanish ‘r’)
Glorimar ~ “glor-ih-mar” (‘glor’ sounding like the beginning of ‘glory’)
Dusk ~ just like the English word
Cedella ~ “seh-day-yuh”
