Help[Opinions] Cymbeline
Hi !!!
I currently felt in love with this name.
He was King of Britain and is still famous because of Shakespeare.
This name can mean 'hound of Belenus (a god compared with Apollo)' or also 'bright hound' because belenus means 'bright'.
Have you ever meet a Cymbeline in real life? What do you think on using it?

No, I've never met one.
It was ruined for me ever since I read that it's pronounced like Simba + lean. To me, it doesn't sound masculine that way. I always imagined it was prn to rhyme fine, and thought that was much better.

I've always loved it. I would consider using it, if I had a kid. I think it's odd but in an understated, handsome way. I've never met one.
I like the idea of Cymbe / Simba as an occasional affectionate nickname...and I didn't remember this until Raven Briar mentioned it, but it does remind me of 'cymbal' and 'symbol', so I vaguely associate it with music and the abstract.

Hi Felie!
I love Cymbeline: regal, literary, and ornate. I've never met one, but I'd die of glee if I did!

It sounds feminine to me perhaps because I associate "belle" and "line" with girl names. Due to cymbals, I associate this name with clamorous noise and sudden loud sounds.

I've never met one or even known of one.
I think the Shakespeare play is the association most people have.
I do like this name though. I wouldn't use it, but it's a cool, nice sounding name.

Sounds a bit girly to be with the ending, but it also reminds me of Cyprian or Cyprien for a boy which is nice. I think it would sound better as a middle name in the US, due to people not understanding the origin of it and thinking it would be feminine or associating it with cymbals, and have never met a Cymbeline though it would be a very interesting thing to see.
