[Opinions] Re: Adina.
in reply to a message by Solveig
I think Adina and Miriam would work well as siblings.
I like Adina but I don't quite love it. It is just slightly more simple than I would like, it's odd that it feels so to the point since it is three syllables. Maybe it's because more than half of the name when written is -ina so it doesn't look complex but it is in sound.
Another reason I don't quite love it is I have no personal associations with it because I have never met anyone before with the name Adina, or watched or read anything with an Adina. With most of my favorite names I knew a person I liked with the name, loved a character with the name, or have some other positive association with the name. Sometimes I just love a name but usually I also have a multiple faceted history with my favorite names.
I definitely strongly like Adina, it has some magic to it but it also has an ancient salt of the earth feel like Miriam. Adina feels like fire and earth, Miriam feels like air and earth. Adina seems like an Aries or Capricorn name, Miriam feels like an Aquarius name or possibly Virgo.
