[Opinions] Re: Aquila (m) and Vela (f)
in reply to a message by kookiemonster71
Vela reminds me to much of Harry Potter which I'm not fond of for me to want to see it in use. It is rather pretty though and the meaning is nice so I don't actually mind it.
Aquila is okay. On paper it is asthetically pleasing but the sound leaves much to be desired. AK-wil-a would be my chosen pronunciation from the ones you offer. But I would prefer a-KEE-la, (like Akilah) which is how I thought it was said when I saw it. That would be the Spanish pronunciation if it was in use as such I suppose.
