Help[Opinions] Jehan and Isidore
I've added these two names to my PNL within the past week, and I'd like to know what others here think.
Jehan caught my attention a while back, but I ended up passing over it. I initially thought it sounded like Jean if spoken with a speech impediment. It's grown on me considerably since then, however. It looks gentle and possesses a soft sweetness that's a little hard to explain; something about it just makes me go "d'awww".
Imagery-wise, it makes me think of a pale, dew-laden green meadow dotted with tiny white flowers. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it correctly; Wikipedia says dʒɛˈan, but I've also heard it without the n. I actually think I'm putting too much emphasis on the n, but since I'm not using it, I suppose that's inconsequential. (Just don't ask me to pronounce it in real life. Or most French names, for that matter...)
Isidore is a name I've seen mentioned here once in awhile, but I never considered it until recently. I tend to go for the earthy-woodsy names and Isidore makes me think of sunshine, blue skies, and ivory towers. I've grown to like it and the imagery I associate with it, though. Definitely a departure from my usual style, but a breath of fresh air, too.
Thoughts?
