Help[Opinions] Re: Make me love or hate these: day 2
in reply to a message by Ani
Edgar - distant family name; not a favourite, I'd prefer Edward, nn Ed.
Johanna - pronounced you-a-HUN-a where I live, and pretty ordinary. In English, I like Joanna.
Konstantinos and "Kostas" - only if you're Greek. I prefer Con as a nn.
Veronica and "Ronnie" - Ronnie is unattractive as a male or female nn, and Veronica is inconveniently long.
Priscilla - dainty, lively, pretty
Clare - the only spelling of this lovely name that I enjoy enough to use.

Edward's definitely my favorite Ed- name, with Edwin or Edmund being the least (though I still like all three). I've been stuck between finding Edgar cool or drab. Do you like Eddie?
I knew a Greek family: DH: Kostas & DS's Kairos & Andreas. I really liked all of their names!
I think I'm going to switch out Veronica "Ronnie" for Saffron "Ronnie"
Clare feels too fragile to me sometimes, but not as fragile as Claire

Eddie is fine for kids but not for adults.
I know a man with the most English of surnames imaginable: let's say, Harris. English father, Greek mother, fn Constantine, nn Con.
Saffron is a beautiful colour, but I'd expect to find it in a recipe, not on a person.
I find St Clare the very opposite of fragile! Claire bugs me in the same was as Isabelle: French spelling for no good reason.
