HelpRe: Opinions on some names
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
Aliena is close to alien. Alyena would avoid that. I'd say Aliena is usable, though; it just might be commented on occasionally.
Samwel sounds fine, but some people will probably associate Samwell from Game of Thrones.
I don't have strong opinions on Valdasya or Valdonya. They seem ok.
I like Artemiziya because I like Artemisia. It's a botanical name. It fits into current trends (like, begins with a vowel, mythology name). I associate Artemisia Gentileschi who is maybe the most famous female Renaissance artist. Some English speakers might think the z and y look neat and that it seems fancy because it's long.
Mary's still used fairly often. It's not as popular as it used to be (3-7%!) but nothing is.
