[Opinions] Estrild and Sunniva

Yesterday I was browsing some medieval name lists and found Estrild. I find this name really nice. It sounds similar to Esther and Estella, two name I also like quite much.

Sunniva is the other name on my mind. I'm not sure I like it, but it is so unique, and would be interesting to see on a baby.

What do you think of these two? Would you ever recommend them to, let's say, the couple living next door for their daughter?

I don't really care for the sound of Estrild. I kind of prefer Astrid, which has a somewhat similar sound.

I love the name Sunniva, though! I really like the meaning, and though the history behind it is not the most fortunate, I still love the sound of it. I wouldn't really recommend it to someone, though I do quite like it myself.

Sunniva's interesting, but nms. I just don't like the sound of it, though the look is pretty.

I like Estrild, but I prefer Estrilda. The latter's a bit like Matilda, but more unusual. I love medieval names!

Both are nms but I think both are fine as names. I do prefer Astrid to Estrild though. I'm not sure I would recommend them to my neighbor but I certainly wouldn't dissuade my neighbor from using them.

I really like Estrild. I think it looks and sounds lovely. Sunniva is really just nms. I think that both names are unique and interesting, though I don't think that I would recommend such an uncommon name to a random person though, unless I happened to think they might be open to something like that.

I like Elstrild (and Elstrilda). Don't like Sunniva.
