I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a name that I give my characters. The only thing I’d ever dislike is when I find out someone has been pronouncing the name completely different from me and then I feel all guilty. Like, Alya, for example. I’ve always pronounced it as “Ah-lee-aa” but I recently found out some people pronounce it as “Aww-lee-aa.” Which shouldn’t bug me yet it does. An odd amount.
so @FTDFam if you’re pronouncing it that way, we bouta have some issues

AWWW-lee-ah?? How does someone get the ‘aw’ sound if there’s no ‘u’ or ‘w’ in there?
But I get annoyed with the pronunciation of ‘Isla’. I knew a girl with that name who pronounced it like the Spanish word for island. EES-la. Because since it’s a Spanish word, the logical pronunciation would be pronouncing it like you would in Spanish, right?? Years later, I saw it on a compilation of unique names, saying that it should be pronounced EYE-la, like island would be pronounced in English. And I’m like, WHAT?
RUBE
HAHAHHA
