Tigerlily
Raiza (ry-EE-za)
Zuhara (za-HAH-ra)
Aisha (ai-EE-sha)
Saoirse (seer-sha)
Venus (middle name problems)
Raven
Phoenix - definity a fav, but having problems finding a non-frilly girls name that fits as a middle name and has a bit of rhythm, we like names that sound a bit surnamish, androgynous, or exotic
Auriel (or-ree-EL) (with Zuharah, definitly)
Affinity
Serenity
Tranquility (love this, maybe too long tho)
Persephone
Regan
Star (my absolute favourite, but again, need a catchy middle name)
River (river clair or river eden) - love this too
Izarra (ee-ZAH-ra or eye-ZAH-ra)
Blaiz - another ultimate favourite (it means wolf in celtic languages, but its just such a strong name, yet not unpretty, still have fire connotations when spoken.) Help
Ocean
Light
Zayne

Can't decide! Really, really, this is on my doorstep now,

My pick is either Regan (love that you spelled it like Shakespeare did) or Zahara. Please don't spell it Zuhara, though, because she WILL be called zoo-hah-rah until she corrects people. Zahara has an obvious pronunciation; it's familiar enough without being trendy. Persephone is also fine, but I think she may have a few pronunciation problems. And, this name seems a little heavy to me.

Sorry, but Starlene practically screams trailer park hick to me. Really sorry. Just being honest. Star is the most stereotypical stripper name I can think of; the image that pops into my head is dyed yellow blonde hair with black roots, pink tube top, black super miniskirt, and 5-inch imitation patent leather heels. Oh, and lots of gum-smacking and sentences that begin with "Um, like...". This is pretty much how the character Star is described in White Oleander, and it's pretty much how she looks in the movie, too. And, it's a fair description of the one and only Star I've ever known in real life.

Light? Tigerlily? Ocean? Affinity? Tranquility? I mean, seriously? Please, please no. Regan, Zahara, and even Persephone are so much better. Any of them would be lovely.
