Re: Era and E names
in reply to a message by lusia
I think Era is simple and sweet, however as word names go... it's not my favorite. I am of the impression that words-names used as names should convey an appealing image or concept. Time is not super appealing to me. The sound of the word is quite striking though. However, I do like the similar Hera, if that makes a difference. My favorite, unusual, E-name is Evren. It is unisex and means "cosmos/universe". We had it as our top choice for a boy for a couple years and only recently switched it out. I know that a lot of people online like it for a girl... but anyone who likes the name is far and few. Some others that I have liked for a while:
Emer - so sweet and simple. If I thought people could pronounce it universally... I would advocate for it in a heartbeat. Edgar - It's almost clunky and reminds me of a curmudgeonly old man... but also an adorable kid. Love names with versatility like that. Eudora - Just think this is incredibly pretty and interesting to look at. Euda and Eudie make adorable nicknames too. Eleni and Eliora - One Greek, the other Hebrew... both lovely. They are not that unusual in certain culture groups, but they definately are uncommon in the US. Elodie and Elodia - becoming more popular, but still just great names and interesting spellings. You could never call these boring. Enoch and Erez are Biblical names for boys that both look and sound great. They are also simple and strong, so I just like them. Esti, Estelle, and Esta are also GPs of mine.
Ebenezer, Ellis and Ephraim are GPs for boys. ______________________________________________
