Re: E names
in reply to a message by Felie
Emil - I love this name pronounced the French way - Ay-meel. I do not care for EEmil, as I've also heard it said.
Ellos - dislike
Excelsior - this is fabulous for a horse or a superhero!
Errol - sounds like an old geezer to me
Enkil - I haven't heard this before. What does it mean? I don't like the sound
Emiliano - LoveEmmeline - Love, love. Emmeline Pankhurst, my hero!
Estrella - I don't like it
Easter - charming and old fashioned
Esperanza - I like the meaning more than the sound, prefer Esperance, or just Hope
Effie - I love this as a nickname. For Elisabeth maybe?
Ermengarda - I don't want to be rude but hell no!
Elisabeth - Classic and dignified but not a personal favourite
Eva - I don't like it. Or Eve, or Evie, or Ava. Each to their own. I would never choose any of these
Erzulie - this makes me think of vodou. I like the way it sounds. Much nicer than Ursula

XD Geezer....more affectionate than derogatory I'd say, though context is everything I guess.Effie has been used as a nickname for Elizabeth (and other names too) here in England, going back to 1400s at least. I think it's lovely. Euphemia....not so much!!! Although it is a lovely meaningCiao!
