HelpRe: Which one?
in reply to a message by Perrine
1) Emma or Emily and why?
Emma is a silly little name which sounds like baby-babble. Emily is lyrical and radiant and beautiful.
2) Chloe or Lily?
Lilies are not my favourite flowers, especially the drooping white ones associated with funerals. Chloe is lively and pretty and very much nicer, and for anyone who cares, it's even got a botanical meaning!
3) Luna or Nova?
Without question, neither. Luna just begs for an insulting nn, and Nova where I live is a range of polishes and wood varnishes; might do for a newborn, but not for long. I know a Luna, so I suppose I could choose it, but only at gun-point.
4) Helena or Matilda?
Matilda. There's only one way to pronounce it, which is helpful, and it's got a glamorous aura of medieval toughness. I'd use Helen rather than either Helena or Matilda, for what that's worth.
