Re: Thoughts on these names?
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
I notice a lot of these have special characters or accents, which would be hard in an English speaking area. Just at first glance.
Anaïs: I don't care for this one. Doesn't look like it's pronounced, and doesn't look great on paper.
Anastasia: It's very royal. An okay name, but I've never loved it for some reason. It sounds a bit spoiled and petty.
Elixabete: Interesting. I feel like this is a name that could definitely grow on me. At first glance, though, it just sounds like a desperate attempt to originalize Elizabeth. The pronunciation is cool.
Kyoko: Dont' care for it.
Ségolène: Definitely looks like a masculine name, I was surprised when I saw it was Female. Too harsh sounding/lookinh, I think.
Amélie: I like this one. It would get confused with the ultra-popular Emily for sure, though.
Beatrice: I prefer Beatrix, for the nn Trix/Trixie, but don't love that, either.
Casimir: Handsome and strong. I imagine most people wouldn't even pronounce that first I, just saying CAS-mir. But that's not terrible.
Rate my name list please! :)
