[Opinions] Re: Azula and Sapphire
in reply to a message by peonini
Too bad Azula is tied so much to the ATLA character for me. It's cool sounding. I'd probably approve of it if I saw it IRL, and forget about the cartoon.
Sapphire ... I just don't go for names that have this kind of sound. I don't know why, they just feel to me like they're straining at glamor, the sound of Saffron, Sapphire, Saskia. The "fire" sound and the "precious gemminess" makes Sapphire even more so. A name for a Siamese cat.
But if I met a Sapphire in real life, I doubt I'd bother to dislike it. It'd be fine. It'd be like Ruby and Amber and Crystal ... just a shiny name destined for mediocrity, and I don't mind that style at all.
