[Opinions] Re: Gerard and Renard
in reply to a message by Joiya
I really don't care for the "-ard" sound at all. I do like Reynard when pronounced "RAY-nerd."As far as fitting with Clarisse and Nadine, the 'feel' of the names are similar- they're all sort of antique, have a hard consonant sound, and have the last syllable emphasized.  photo image_zps50478a13.jpg

You are the first person to point out the second syllable stressor - thanks!I honestly never noticed, but if I go through my list... all of the ones that I especially like have that feature. Way to help me narrow down my tastes!!
