[Opinions] Re: Iskra & Tesni
in reply to a message by vigdis
I don't understand how Tesni sounds like testes, but a-ok. I'd never heard of Iskra before, it's really beautiful. It reminds me of Brîska ("glitter"). Same poppy/snappy sound, perhaps they have the same origin.
There are names that I adore that I wouldn't even fell comfortable giving to a cat...
Achlys (http://www.behindthename.com/name/achlys/submitted) - meaning is way too morbid and it doesn't even sound nice rolling of the tongue, it's only nice sounding in my head lol
Amestris (http://www.behindthename.com/name/amestris/submitted) and Ishtar and Vashti - I just think it would be rude to use these names, they feel too important. That's just me though.
Asherah - same reason, it would feel rude to use it. Such a cool meaning though! I don't know, am I being dumb thinking these names would be insensitive to use?
Blodeuwedd - It would be badass as a middle name, but it's too awkward for me to say. I think it's "blo-day-WETH", someone correct me?
Deïanira (http://www.behindthename.com/name/dei12anira/submitted) - Okay I would totally use this on a cat/bunny, but it might be a bit much for a person since it means "man-destoyer".
Exuperia (http://www.behindthename.com/name/exuperia/submitted) - A bit too fancy for a person. Meaning "to (greatly) excel, to (greatly) surpass, to (greatly) surmount".
Janus - It's a fantastic name but I can't stop hearing anus. :( Damn the English language.
Judas - So cool sounding, but it would be mean on a person right? Maybe not. It would fit a cat though.
Mordred - Well he's just a villain, it would be so wrong on a kid. Cat though, yes. Actually can you imagine a bunny named Mordred? That would be great.
Perseus and Ptolemy - The meanings are too violent to me. Cats though, yes. Oooh or lizards.
Tryfon - I really hate the sound of this name! I just love the way it looks and the meaning so much.

The body, which gives you during life a form,
Is but your vase: be not deceived, my soul!
Cheap is the bowl for storing honey in,
But precious for the contents of the bowl.
