[Opinions] Casilda
I've recently fallen in love with this girl's name. The meaning is up in the air, but it likely comes from the arabic قصيدة (romanized as qaṣīda), meaning "poem". It was the name of a Moorish princess and saint, and has a history of use in literature and theatre. What do you guys think of it, and what are some combos you'd use?

I love Casilda! It's mystical but also accessible.Casilda Eulalia, Casilda Marguerite, Casilda Genevieve, Casilda Eloise, and Casilda Beatrice immediately come to mind.

I like the history and literary associations. The multiple theories about its meaning are interesting. While I wouldn't use it, I did add it to my PNL just now.
