[Opinions] Re: Middle Names for Alyssa
Thanks for your response, this is the kind of opinions I'm looking for. Detailed reasons for why we should or should use a name or a pa combo. I don't like Gabrielle for its meaning but rather association. I got it from Xena Warrior Princess and actually prefer Xena but unfortunately other than a first name Xena doesn't really work as a middle name. To me Gabrielle is a warrior, strong, kind, artistic, loyal and fuelled with a lot of partential. Yes it's from a 90s show but said show is timeless. Same reason why I like Hermione, Hermione Grangers attributes, enough said �

I get it. Gabrielle as a character name is less distinctive than Hermione, though, because it has been so popular and sounds like a lot of other names. Plus most people know a Gabrielle or two. Hermione doesn't sound like almost any other name, certainly not any popular one, and most people will immediately recognize that it has connection to the JKR character without it having to be explained.edit: X is a very cool middle initial and Alyssa Xena is a little zazazizi heavy but is cool enough to be allowed to be a bit awkward, IMO
