@konstc Fiona goes pretty well with the other names. Some others are Flora, Fauna, Francine, Frances, Fabiana, Fernanda (Fern?) Gia, Gina, Gianna, Gloria, Giovanna, Geneva

@lozzymagoo That's kinda what everyone is trying to answer by pointing out that they don't rhyme. They are saying the names aren't too similar and don't sound weird together, while it would be a bit odd if they did rhyme.

@kyndiah dude chill

@wannasmile They both end in X and are 2 syllables, that's pretty much all they have in common. They don't rhyme. I wouldn't assume Felix was named after you.

@isolde Pretty much all the Z names I can think of have been said, I just wanted to add that Zaza is an okay placeholder, definitely not a keeper. (Zaza is slang for weed). Edit: Zasha, Zosha

@iprefertoremainanonymous Did you just say I'm racist and classist.... against a european name? It's jumping to conclusions to say I would automatically assume the worst of every foreign name when I see one that is familiar, but looks like it's spelled incorrectly because I don't know it's...

@iprefertoremainanonymous Literally nowhere did I call her stupid, that's complete misrepresentation. In America there are enough people spelling normal names in dumb ways that the average person isn't going to stop and think "hmm, maybe it's from another country?" No one is going to google...

@iprefertoremainanonymous No I wouldn't, because I'm from the US and so is OP. They asked and others said the same thing. I also scroll through through r/tragedeigh and the fact is that Karolina looks like Carolina with a "k", and it will be pronounced like the state if they live in America...

@berniceann Just ignore that then. I'm not sure what to say other than that- maybe that your other name, Natalia would be a better choice. If I saw it I'd say "nah-tal-ee-ah", though I don't know about others. It also doesn't have the association of being a state.

@berniceann Quite frankly I would still pronounce Karolina like the state and assume you were going 'uneighkue'. If you want it to be pronounced correctly try going for a more phonetical spelling, like an "e" instead of an "i".

@berniceann My thoughts are stuck on that Teachers/TAs will pronounce it like the state. I just finished school and while it wasn't for the same reason, I went years correcting teachers every time we had a substitute teacher. Sometimes they just wouldn't get it. I once had an old white man as...

@theseekeroftruth I think it's weird as well, but I've never heard another pronunciation. I only know the state. I predict that she's going to run into that a lot, but maybe I'm overthinking it.

@abhijoy21 lmao what

@theseekeroftruth Unless they don't live in place with a large Spanish-speaking population. Plus there's the name Caroline, also pronounced "care-ah-line", which I think of in addition to the state when I see Carolina.
