Help[Opinions] Latin words as names
Here are some Latin words that I think would make good names. WDYT of them? Also, if you have more knowledge of Latin that I do, feel free to correct me on any of this. I got it from an online Latin dictionary.
Ones I would consider using as first names are asterisked.
Adeo : to approach, visit, come to, undertake.
*Alui: nourish, cherish, support, sustain, maintain, keep.
Animi : at heart.
Appareo : to become visible, appear, manifest
Aranea : spider's web.
Astrum : star, constellation.
Audeo : to dare.
Beatus : blessed, fortunate, sometimes "saint". .
Candidus : bright, shining, white.
Claro : to make bright or clear, make clear in the mind.
Constans : steady, firm, unchanging, constant, unwavering.
Contineo : hold together, keep together, connect, join.
*Creo : to create, make.
Desidero : to long for, wish for greatly, to miss.
Emiror : to wonder at exceedingly.
Equidem : indeed, truly, for my part.
Fabula : fable, story, tale, play.
*Fortuna : fortune, luck, fate, chance.
Imber: rain shower, rain storm, pelting rain.
Lenio : to mitigate, relieve, make better.
Luna : moon.
Melior : better.
Memoria : memory, remembrance, recall, recollection.
Mire : wonderfully, marvellously, uncommonly.
*Miro : to wonder.
Passer : sparrow.
Pipio : to chirp, tweet, pipe.
Pluma : feather / featherbed / pen.
*Prosper : favorable, fortunate, lucky, prosperous.
Prosperitas : prosperity, good fortune.
*Scio : to know, understand.
Semper : always, ever.
Sententia : opinion, thought, way of thinking, meaning, purpose.
*Spero : to hope for, hope.
Superna : northeast by north wind.
Teneo : to keep on, persist, persevere, endure.
Veritas : truth
Vero : in truth, indeed
Vita : life, way of life
Voluntas : wish, will, inclination / good will
If Scio is pronounced "sye-oh" (which is my guess due to the words it's in but I don't know Latin so what do I know) then I really, really like it. Similar feelings for Spero if it is pronounced like Sparrow.
PS If anybody knows for certain how to pronounce things in Latin and wouldn't mind me PMing you to ask you how to pronounce a few words, that would be fabulous.
Thanks guys!
