1. Between Elliot Charles and Charles Elliot, which would you choose?

2. If you were to see the name Herminia, how would you pronounce it? Also, do you like it?

Thank you!

Elliot Charles by FAR.

Her-men-ee-ah.

1. I like Elliot much more than Charles, but if I had to use them together, I'd choose Charles Elliot. It flows better than Elliot Charles. 2. I pronounce it by the Polish way her-MEE-nyah. If I'd read an English text or talk to an English girl, I would probably pronounce it her-MEEN-ee-ah. It's beautiful name, cute, gentle, but strong at the same time. I like it. About few years ago I read a Polish book, and there was a girl named Herminia, with a wonderful diminutive Hermisia (her-MEE-shah). It is sweet. A diminutive which I also like is Minnie or Minia. A similar name which I like is Hermina.

1. Elliot Charles! :D

2. Probably her-MEE-nuh, but I'm generally terrible at figuring out how to pronounce stuff. :P

Elliot Charles. I hate both names but I can't stand Charles.

Her - men - ee - ah

I don't like the name.

Charles Elliot.

Her-MIN-ee-ah. But that's just a punt, so to speak, at it;I'm not familiar with the name.

I don't like it a lot, but it may grow on me! Don't dislike it.

1. Charles Elliot, but I would call him Chet or Chaz.

2. I don't like it in the slightest, so I wouldn't have to pronounce it.

1. Charles Elliot
2. Herminia -- her-MEEN-ee-uh; No, sorry, I don't care for it.

Charles Elliot, since Elliot is one of my least favourite boys names.

Her-MIN-ee-a.

1. Elliot Charles, since I really dislike Charles.
2. hur-MIN-ee-ah. I think it's horribly ugly, sorry.

Charles Elliot

her-min-ee-ah was my first thought since I didn't know what language it came from without looking it up.

1.) Charles Elliott has an easier flow for me.

2.) I'd pronounce it Her-min-ee-a. I don't really like it (makes me think of Herman, which I'm not a fan of.)

Charles Elliot

I'd pronounce it her-min-ee-ah. I don't really like it, but it is cute.

Elliot Charles. Whilst Charles nn Charlie is nice enough, I much prefer Elliot

Her-min-ee-a. I don't like it, though I like Hermia and Hermione

- Ninor (Frozten)

Kinda funny. I have two bunnies, named Elliot and Hermione. Father and daughter, actually. :)

I prefer Elliot Charles, because Elliot is far nicer than Charles.
I'm not a big fan of Herminia though, but I would prn it something like her-MEEN-yah.

1. I prefer Charles Elliot.

2. I'd pronounce it hehr-MEE-nee-ah. It sounds too much like Arminia which is something quite a few football (soccer) clubs are called around here.

1 I'd go with Charles Elliot. I like both names, but Elliot is a shade too preppy/yuppie for my style and Charlie sounds friendlier.

2 "Her mini uh." A lot like the way I say Virginia. I think it's okay.

1. While I like Elliot as a first name better. Charles Elliot has a better cadence to me.

2. I would pronounce Herminia as her-min-ee-yah. I do like it. In fact, a friend of mine recently named her daughter Isabel Hermina and I thought how much prettier the -a ending made the name.

Hermina is very pretty. :) I am looking for an alternative to Hermia and Hermione. I like both, but Hermia reminds me of hernia, and Hermione is too Harry Potter.

1. Charles Elliot. I'm really not a fan of Elliot.

2. Her-MEE-nee-ah. I don't like it, I think it's a bit too much. But there are worse names out there.

Charles Elliot, because I much prefer Charles to Elliot.

Intuitively, I would say her-MIN-ee-uh. I have no idea how right or wrong that is. I've actually been warming up to the name Herman lately, and Herminia reminds me a great deal of it, so I quite like it right now. Bonus points if I get to call the kid Minnie.

...Off-Topic, but did the site get an update?

Mike C. posted about an update on the names facts board.

He linked the summary...

Ah, I missed that. Thanks for the link! Very much appreciated.

...Although I am surprised that Calix and Lemmy got deleted. Actually, I've been noticing a bit of an upswing in usage for Calix lately. Hm.

Octave is fun, though. I like Octave.

To be honest, I was surprised about Mayim getting deleted. We considered that name ourselves, and I found the BtN link quite useful then.

I noticed a change too when checking the popularity of names!

- Elec Fan (guest)

7/28/2015, 10:44 AM

Yeah, I just noticed it when I clicked on Herminia. I like the banners!

I like both of those but I would probably go for Charles Elliot as I love the nickname Charlie. (also, around here people drop their Ts at the end of words, so I wouldn't use a name which ends with T)

I would pronounce Herminia phonetically: her-MIN-ee-uh

- humblebee

7/28/2015, 10:28 AM

1) Charles Elliot because Charles has some significance for me and would give me Charlie and Chaz.

2) I'd say her-MIN-ee-uh, but I'd be prepared to be corrected. It's ok.

Elliot Charles. Charles is kind of creepy to me, in all honestly, but Elliot is cute.

I'd pronounce Herminia as her-MEEN-yah.

LOL I forgot to respond to this earlier but I think it's funny that you find Charles creepy. I can see it.
