[Opinions] Re: Charis
in reply to a message by Felie
I like it but I don't find it very usable. I mean I would love to see it used but I wouldn't use it myself, it's just too complicated. I think the Greek pronunciation has the CH pronounced as an H but in English it would be pronounced as a K or a Sh or maybe as an actual Ch. It doesn't help that the last part could be interpreted as -ees or -iss. It would get misspelled and mispronounced all the time. Apart from that it looks trendy/made up even though it is a Greek classic, in the same way that Danae looks made up and trendy even thought it bears a lot of history. Maybe it is better suited as a middle name with a classic first name, something like Ava Charis or Eva Charis might work well.
