The prettiest first names in entehear by ear
The sound of a first name can be pleasing to the ear or not at all. According to the cross research of Professor Bodo Winter, specialist in English language and linguistics at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, carried out for the site My 1st Years, “A number of the world’s most popular baby names elicited the most positive emotions when spoken aloud. They are therefore likely to be the most beautiful to the human ear.” This observation is based on the study of the sounds of the most pleasant words to hear, conducted by James S Adelman of the University of Warwick, and published in 2018. Based on these observations, the specialist established a list of the most beautiful first names to hear for girls and boys, at least for British parents. We notice, for the most part, that the names ending with the sound “i” would be the most pleasant to listen to.
