[Opinions] Re: My favorite names
in reply to a message by KK
I think Madeline is too close to Madalena to be a reasonable nickname. I would see that as nicknaming Christopher, Christoph. You might as well legally name him Christoph, as its already a full name. Elena makes a bit more sense, but I feel that Madalena (although I'm not big on it) seems too mature and "full" to be shortened by anything. I much prefer Madeline to similar names and other forms.I don't like Helen but love Charlotte. They flow okay.I love Evelyn, but don't think it flows well with Charlotte in either order. It doesn't flow well with the other names you listed, either. I think its because all these names have Ls, and Evelyn has a particular L that stands out too much with names like HeLen, CharLotte, and MadaLena. Maybe Evelyn Diane, Evelyn Virginia, Charlotte Diana, Ava Charlotte or Rebecca Charlotte are better because there are no more Ls.Charlotte Madalena flows much better IMHO.https://youtube.com/@MarioDrama632 or
