Re: Names from my choir
in reply to a message by ari.
Carys is a really pretty name. Cato seems more masculine than feminine, plus I can't shake the association with the Roman senator who took a laxative to keep from meeting with an Egyptian embassy (or was it the Pharaoh?). Iphigenie reminds me too much of Iphigenia, and personally I wouldn't be too keen about being named after a girl who's father killed her. Xanthe, it's pretty, but I really wouldn't use it on my child. I really wanna test my limited Greek, so I'm gonna say it means gold? I know Xanthos does so I'm assuming this is the feminine form.
Altogether unusual names.
