Yulia is way pretty. My name is the worst name on the planet...well one of them. And I'm not talking about Bianca (I had to use 2 c's because Bianca with one c was already taken).
Oh, come now, it can't possibly be that bad! In my hometown, we had a family with the last named "Bahls". Yes, it is pronounced like it sounds. To make matters worse, there were two children: Richard and Harold. (Or, D*ck and Harry, as the proper nicknames are) Richard was smart and went by Richard. Harold, however, actually went by "Harry Bahls". Also, in a neighboring town, there was a girl named "Tera Buttoff". I swear I'm not making this up, I couldn't if I tried!Quote:

Wonderful pics, Gerty (I like the name Julie better than Gerty, I must admit)!!
Speaking of names, at work there is a Captian Belches :o
Do you think that everything you do with your mouth wide open is considered sexy? :lol:Quote:

For me "Bianca" is a perfect feminine name. Sounds like a princess name, I think :D . And very rare - for russian ear.
When I was born, name Юлия was THE most popular name in the country, so my parents, God bless them, probably didn't put another though in it...
Well, the most ugly girl I ever new (she was a very nice person, by the way, but absolutely not attractive) had a name Венера - "Venus".
Thank you all, guys for nice words about my pics :D .
I agree! The only Venus I know is the tennis woman...Quote:

On the other hand I find Юля fine! And anyway when you are a nice person and look good you don't need a "sexy" name. For instance, I totally dislike the name of the girl I'm in love with (Fabienne).
That's right! But don't you think, sometimes we judge the people (first time met) by some insignificant things like name or color of the hair. Aleksandr Pushkin, the poet, was afraid of blond men, because gypsy had told him that he would have died from wight horse or wight-head man (and he did eventually). :)Quote:

Nice picture pendragon. I think its great when people put up their own pictures. Ok mine is blue but that is becaue of Mordan.
Anyway I think Bianca is a nice name too, unfortuantely it is not my name.
Marcel Proust said that people who judge by external factors (fashion , names etc.) are the people that are the least able to judge other peoples character. Only I can't rephrase Proust very well.
Thanks Biancca! Your blue style pic isn't so bad either :wink:
It took me about 20 minutes to understand how to use "paint" to re-size this pic but it was well worth it!
Bianca is ok, but it sounds like an pet's name to me (no offense!!!). So what's your real name your ashamed of?! My name is very common around here : Julien.
Agreed! And these people lose so of the nicest and most rewarding meetings! How could such factors be relevant? :?Quote:

Ok, Biancca, now I am really curious... C'mon! What's your name? I won't tell! :)
I'll send you both Rosetta 1 & 2 if you tell me! :)

My stupid name is Janet as in janitor.
But my mom calls me WeJanet because my sister's name is Wendy and she mixes us up.
My sister is of course called JaWendy.
You have to understand how Americans pronounce this "a" sound to appreciate how ugly this name sounds in American English.
My little German friend pronounces it Жenet which is better
I understand what you mean, it's kind of "nasily"
I don't even know of any other languages that use that sound, everyone that I know that speaks a different language calls me "ahhllen"... I guess I never thought about it, I don't mind either way...

It's not that ugly! It's always better than a name like "Gertrude" which I would say is the most horrible name in the Universe! :)Quote:

Your mom is really funny!! Why does she mix you up all the time? Are you that similar (twins?) or she just has problems with the names?Quote:

now, "Brynolf", is the most ugly name! (icelandic woman-name "Alfhild") isn't too gorgeous either!
Ok! You won Zhenya! You've just teached me some new weird-sounding-names-for-french-ears! Although I bet there is a lot of others...
Me and my sister look almost exactly the same but she is older.
Alfhild is the worst name I've ever heard!!!
*a man runs away, crying out loud*
Fantom: "Hey, Alfhild, come back!"
