If you had to ...
If you had to choose names from the following categories, what would you pick? “I’ll just skip” isn’t an option :)
FN = first name
MN = middle name
1. A traditionally male FN for a girl. You can use a feminine MN
2. An English wordname that’s not traditionally used as a name (no Summer, Hope, etc.). Choose any MN. Any gender is fine.
3. A male FN and MN dated to the 1940s or 50s. No classics, this must be something considered an “old man name.”
4. A female FN and MN dated to the 1940s or 50s. No classics, this must be something considered an “old lady name.”
5. An entirely made up / invented FN and MN. Portmanteaus are fine.
6. A “trendy” FN and MN. This can be something currently rising in popularity or something that fits current trends. Any gender is OK.

Cantarine Lumia is quite lovely.
Thanks
Lumia reminds me of Lumina and Luminița, real Romanian names. :)
Mulțumesc! Btw I’m studying Romanian pretty intensely and Luminița was an inspiration for it.
I'm studying Romanian too!
But I kind of fired my tutor (45 minutes late was the closest he had ever been on time to one of our scheduled meetings and he cancelled a number of them after I was already there waiting) so I've been considering trying to teach myself the basics before I hire someone else. idk.
It seems like a beautiful language. It's fun to listen to others speak. I'm making myself learn at least the basics before I visit which I really want to do (even though I know they all speak English).
