[Opinions] Re: Jago and Eseld
in reply to a message by Canielle
That's so fun! I wonder if I might have some hidden Cornish ancestry somewhere too, since I know a branch of my family comes from a town in Cornwall.
I enjoy Cornish names, they have a touch of folksy fairytale magic about them. Jago is fun in a rough and ready sort of way. And Eseld feels like the sensible 1940s version of the Iseult legend. Eseld gets things done and suffers no fools while Iseult is off running from shadows through dark haunted halls. I admire Eseld.
The only issue is pronunciation. I would attempt to say these as "JAG-oh" and "EE-seld" and I don't know if that's anywhere close to right.
