Re: Couple of Names + Sighting
in reply to a message by Elec Fan
Cerulean is eccentric and nms personally, but I think it's fine, and namey enough to be functional. It strikes me as sort of hippy style, like Sequoia or Gemini or Meadow. I ran across a kid named Taurean ... it's like that, too.
Enver - if you're just saying it in English to rhyme Denver, it seems made-up or surnamey. Like it's just a coincidence that it's a Turkish name. As a made up name, it's not bad though.
Korbinian - this is nms, middlenamey, the kind of name that would be odd if it weren't honoring something or someone. But, not unpleasant
Cynefrith - seems feminine / pretty to me, and too archaic prn-wise with the c=k and final th as in this. Maybe Cynefrid.
Ithiel - nms, lispy
Sender - too word-y for me but OK
Zerubbabel - comical, tonguetwister, looks like a name a religious fanatic would use. The Zeru part is cool, but the rest ...
Flavie - neat. FLAH-vee, right? Not flay-vee
Raymonde - ok on a French speaker, blah in English
Lore - this seems masculine to me because I know a male Lore (prn like the word), but prn Lor-uh is nice
Helle - would be kinda cute prn rhyme Ellie. I don't think the hell in it matters that much, unless you prn it to rhyme Ella.
Auda - eh, doesn't strike me... it's ok.
- mirfak
