[Opinions] Re: Baby name suggestions for a Brazilian spring baby
in reply to a message by Bear
Eduarda is awesome, isn't it? My boyfriend is Brazilian and I've already mentioned it for a future child but he dismissed it as ugly. Too old fashioned I guess. But that's why I like it, it's kind of sturdy. But maybe it's not such a good idea after all because these girls usually end up called "Duda". Which I actually find ugly.Lua means Moon in portuguese, it's actually pretty trendy (at least among some people). If it were used as a nickname it would be for Luana, another popular Brazilian name.Rosecler: no idea! It was probably made up as a variation of Rose/Rosa/Clara etc... I like it too. It gives me some sort of medieval vibe (??). But I'm afraid it would be considered tacky. There was a novela character named Rosecler.Pérola is the portuguese Pearl.

Treasure trove of goodies here. I've never cared for Luna because it reminds me of the word lunatic. But now I can indulge in Lua! Luana is gorgeous as well and I can definitely see Lua as a nickname for it as well. Rosecler does have a medieval feeling, you're right. I've always loved Perla. Now I can add Perola to my long list. It's good to be a haorder. :0)Portuguese is a gorgeous language. To me it seems like Spanish, but with a French smooshiness to it.
