[Opinions] Re: Th names
As a non-native english speaker,''th'' was a bit hard to learn. In fact, in French, some names have kept the ''th'' but considering the sound doesn't exist in French, it's just pronounced as a 't'. But now that I'm able to say it properly, I do like names with the ''th'' sound.Here are some I like:
Agatha, Althea, Dorothea, Edith, Elizabeth, Ethel, Faith, Hyacinth, Ruth (yes even if it's a bit dated), Theresa.
Nathaniel, Theodore, Timothy and Thomas. Do names like Esther or Mathilda would count? I feel the ''th'' is less pronounced in these example.Don't hesitate to rate my different PNLs: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/246179

Oh, that's quite fascinating. 🙂 Also yes, Esther and Mathilda count, as they still contain a 'th'
