[Opinions] Re: Nyx (+ edit)
I like Sapphira Nyx best of those with Nyx as a MN (with the sidenote that I pron. Sapphira as sah-FEE-rah). Of the ones with Nyx as a FN I like Nyx Anaïs best. Also Nyx Noémi (Noemi) would be nice I think, instead of Nyx Naomi.
Since you like alliteration I'd also like to suggest Nimue Nyx.
aother suggestions:
Aysel Nyx (like the moon - night)
Nathalie Nyx (Christmas day - night)
Roxana Nyx (bright/star - night)
Serena Nyx (serene - night)
Ligeia Nyx (clear-voiced - night)
Sable Nyx (black - night)
ETA: the pronunciation of Nyx, is just like the Dutch word for 'nothing', which is 'niks'. So that's why, although I like the name, I wouldn't use it, and I wouldn't like to see it used as a FN for any kid. It would be like naming your child 'nothing' to me.
(and in some cruel way it would be funny to have the twins Nyx and Nemo, which would be like naming them 'nothing' and 'nobody' then :P)

Thanks for your beautiful ideas, they're all very nice. Nimue Nyx and Nyx Noémi are lovely. Sable Nyx is great too, she sounds like a superheroine! =DI'm prn Sapphira the same way you do, btw. I did know about the similarity between Nyx and the Dutch word for 'nothing;' David said the same thing about the German word (is it nicht?). But it's the Greek 'night' meaning I love, of course. Though your comment about Nyx and Nemo did make me LOL!Thanks again, babe :-)
