Help[Opinions] Re: Old French names
in reply to a message by HailCthulhu
I met a French woman earlier this year who initially thought my name was Virginie (I guess because I was introduced in a group as "from Virginia"). I didn't correct her for a few days, because I kind of liked being called that. It's more lighthearted than Virginia, imo.
My real name is Victoria, and I would change my name to Victoire, if it didn't sound exclusively French/foreign. I like that it's shorter and doesn't require a nickname.
Delphine, Marceline, Azélie, and Rosalie are pretty.
I admire Clotilde, but I think it'd be a difficult name to have where I live.
Salome is gorgeous, but too many people I know associate it negatively with the biblical character.
Cleophas mainly reminds me of Priapas...I think I like it?
Chrysanthe for a guy is interesting.
I prefer Zephyrin to Zephyr. It seems more complete.
Zotique sounds annoyingly like exotic, unless I'm pronouncing it incorrectly.
I like Napoleon. My generation probably associates it closely with Napolean Dynamite, though, so it's a GP.
