Help[Opinions] Iolanthe
What do you think of this name? I really like Greek names that end with -the.

I love that it's a poetic version of Yolanda. I flippin love Yolanda, it's so colourful and quirky. When I see Iolanthe I imagine a child playing dress up, like when a little kid finds a box of old drapes and wraps themselves up in it, dragging them around the house like a "princess gown". It's beautiful and not practical at all. The "Iola" part really thrills me.
I like the ending, but I'm not sure about the 'io' at the start. It's pretty though, but I prefer Ianthe.
That's fair! I prefer Ianthe too.
Io is fine but the short A in lanthe ruins it for me. It should have been a long A or alternatively a short E would have been pretty.
Long A doesn't sound natural to me. I believe Greek uses a short E sound, though.
It's quite lovely and flowery.
It's gorgeous! I prefer Ianthe, though, which is an all-time favorite.
Me too!
I love it in the Gilbert and Sullivan context, but not for ordinary use.
Don't like it
Me too, I think it’s gorgeous 😍
It flows like water and feels otherworldly
