Help[Opinions] Re: BA from this weekend
in reply to a message by egyptianpanda
Asa is a boy's name to me. Mai looks like it should be pronounced my.
Evi looks incomplete, and even if you add the usual e on the end, it sounds babyish and insubstantial. Basically it looks like the two names were created with Scrabble hands; hands that were better than the more typical qcxjiig
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I tend to agree. I sort of understand why they might have thought that it was feminine, as there are some feminine names that follow that pattern (Ada, Ava) but it seems too masculine to me.
Mai is a family name and might actually be pronounced like "my," The family is ethnically German and the name is taken directly from the German "Mai" which is the month of May.
It's a shame really. Evi is so cute but if she were Eve, Eva, or Evangeline she'd have more options if she wanted something less cutesy when she's older.
