Help[Opinions] Re: Estrild
in reply to a message by shantastic
I like it very much! I'm a sucker for medieval names, needless to say.
I'm not terribly fond of -d names for girls, as they tend to sound and look masculine to me. (Hence, I prefer Maude to Maud, incidentally.) So, I prefer Estrilda or even Estrilde (pr. either the same as Estrild or as Estrilda) to Estrild.
A note though: Estrilda may have been a Latinised form of Estrild though, only used on official documents in the Middle Ages.
