Re: Illyria and More Shakespearean Names
My mother actually has a Corin (m) in her class and when I was helping her organize her papers I called him Corinne and she had to correct me!Illyria, though Shakespearean, looks very odd and trendy to me. It's a bit of a mouthful as well, and I'm not sure whether to pronounce is Ih-lahr-ee-uh or Ih-leer-ee-uhI like Alonso, Ariel (m), Caius, Cressida (kind of), Desdemona (GP), Luciana, and Nerissa.Cousin used to have a girlfriend named Valeria. His dad used to call her Malaria.I don't get the appeal of Lysander. I think it looks and sounds weird and I always just hear the "lice" part.Dislike Toby. I do like Tobias but it'd be automatically shortened to Toby.Please vote on my ♀ & ♂ lists!http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/174843/112914 + http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/174843/112915
