[Opinions] Re: Gethin
in reply to a message by Al
It's fine, but I think you should use it on a boy. If you do something to feminize it, then it's not really the same name.
I can't find any variations, but I'd suggest adding an -a, or -e, and making it Gethina or Gethine. I'm not really sure how you'd pronounce either, but they at least look more girly. Can I suggest to you the name Athena? It has a similar look, feel, at least to me, and doesn't have that made up feel because it's 'legitimate'.
Also, check out these names, they have meanings similar to Gethin ('dark skinned'): http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=dark+skinned&nmd=m&gender=both&operator=or
Sorry if I wasn't any help!

I really like Gethin. I think it's strong yet friendly.
I agree with Athena being a good option for a similar feminine name.
