And Jean Baptiste.
Esther minimum of beatings? WTF is wrong with you.

If my first kid had been a boy I wanted to name it Jebediah, the bitch of a wife wanted no part of it. We knew the second was a girl so there was no more discussion of boy's names. :(

Cormac is a fairly common name in Ireland. I'm guessing it's not in Canada or America. :lol:
Odd coming from someone named Hilario.
Wasn't sure some show though? Like Hardcastle and Cormac?

I don't think that either St. Louis or Arizona have a player named Cormac.

And writers. I'm guessing Spellus likes the name because of the American writer Cormac McCarthy.
QuoteIsn't Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor the Irishest name in history?
Very possibly :lol: except for the double barrel surname. Thankfully they're not that common in Ireland yet.

Your own name comes from one of those 'third-world immigrant communities' if you're including the Irish community.

Unless one vowel or the other is not pronounced, Eva is two...
Ian might depend on where the speaker is from, the 'ia' can be a diphthong...

Fair enough. I'd agree with you on Esther. It'd probably be considered a bit of an old woman's name (along with Agnes) here. Had a quick google and I see there was a Jewish Queen of Persia. So that's probably why he picked Esther.

Not at all. It's alright because it is my own. It was also rather popular around the time I was born.
LOL. Cerr knows me pretty well, correct guesses on both. Both Esther and Cormac would go well with my last name, too. I like the name John, for instance, but it would sound kind of weird with my last name. So does Michael.

In Eva, the "a" is obviously silent.

No, its one.
Talking to myself saying Ian repeatedly I can see how you can stretch it out to two but thats not the normal way.
Eva was just a mistake, wasn't exactly putting deep thought in here. Though I do know a girl called Eva but no one calls her that, she always just gets more like 'Ave' sans A.

I've never heard it anything like that. That sounds more like Euan.
I just say it Ean. The other common way is Een. (random aside thought- since ae is Ä is Ë ea?)
The annoying long drawn out way is Ee-ann.
For boys the names I like are ones that have family associations so James, Richard, Charles, Patrick, Stephen that sort of thing.
For girls I like quite old-fashioned names like Teresa, Mary, Rosie, Catherine that sort of thing, my female relatives almost all have dreadful names.
