[Opinions] Re: Esme and Luna
in reply to a message by LMS
The styles fit very well together.
I prefer Esmée for a girl, since Esmé is grammatically masculine in French to my understanding and was originally borne by a male (Esmé Stuart/Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox, 1542/3-1583). I've never liked Freya, but besides thinking the name bears a passing similarity to "fryer" and "frying" I don't really know why; as a middle name, I can pass it.
Brothers? Ludovic, Quintin (KWIN-tin), Quentin (KWEN-tin), Quincy, Victor, Jonas, Crispin, Odo, Kenelm, Everett, Cassius (KAS-ee-us), Marcel, and Marius come to mind. Any name that sounds artsy and aristrocratic Victorian would fit in well, I think.
