HelpRe: Wealth
in reply to a message by Manipura
No, I hate them. I don't even like them as character names for writing or sims either - and I like some pretty goofy names for certain things.
If I had to choose a favourite, it'd be Fortuna, but they all seem very icky to me.
Others to add to the list is Goldie (Goldie Wilson from Back to the Future) and Goldilocks. These are the only two I was are of since I was a kid and always presumed that Goldie was a nickname for something, like how you could use it as a nickname for blonde hair. I wasn't sure of how it could have been a nickname for Goldie Wilson as he had black hair, but that's about as much thought as I put into it.
Can't say I like these two either, but I'd put Goldie under Fortuna and over everything else.
I think the worst one is probably Wealth and then Wealthy. I think at least Welthea etc have the benefit of possibly being names from foreign countries or something if you squinted and tilted your head and didn't put much thought into it, but I'm grasping at straws

I saw Welthea first, and it was next to stuff like Weyrich and Bearsheba...I thought, "Is this some weird Americanization of Althea, sort of like Elthea? Is it a rare German name??" haha
I guess it's not too far-fetched, though. It's not like German and Old English don't cross over.

In that context, I'd presume much the same, especially since it drops the a in wealth and goes with welth, so you'd presume the name was a prefix of wel- and the normal feminine suffix of -thea
