HelpRe: Which version and why?
in reply to a message by M.Catalina
Hi !!!!
1 Emmanuelle: I'm Italian but I prefer this over Manuela/Emanuela. Actually I dislike this name in every feminine form while I love Manuel, Immanuel and Emmanuel. Anyway I choose Emmanuelle because it is the more elegant and melodious.
2 Françoise I prefer this because I love the ç-names and also because it is the closest to the meaning of the name. I find it elegant, feminine, sweet and lively.
I also like Francisca but only because it is the name of a main character in a telenovela that I love.
3 Bianca: the Italian variant wins. I love it but I actually like every variant of it. Unfortunately Bianca is geting popular here in Italy but I still find it sweet and aristocratic. I love it.
4 Magali because Maddalena seems too religious while Magdalena / Madeleine reminds me of the "muffin".
Magali is unusual and youthful imo.
I suggest you Malena, Magda but also Madalina ehich are nice forms imo.
5 Letizia this is still a word-name in Italy although as a way to describe happiness is kind of dated and a bit literarian now. But I prefer this over the other forms. I would like Laetitia because it is the original one but I find it quite snobbish. I strongly dislike Lettice that is horrible because of its sound.
6 Mafalda wins but it is too associate with the Savoy Family here. I suggest you Maud (or Maude if you want) that I really like.
7 Jana is the best. I used to like Joanna but it became boring to me. Jana (with J read like Y) ia fascinating and strong.
8 Leonora is great. It is very rare here where the used form is instead Eleonora. I dislike the el- beginning so I prefer Leonora that would be perfect imo. I also like Leonor but my evergreen favourite since years and years is Aliénor ..wonderful!!
9 Beatriz is the best because it has a lovely sound (the z at the end). Beatrice is so popular here that I can't stand it more while Beatrix uhm.. I don't know why I don't care about it. I think it could be because it seems too lavish and snobbish.
10 Noemi is my favourite. It is the Italian variant of the name and I find it much more elegant and moderate than Naomi which is tacky and too exuberant.
WDYT?
