Help[Opinions] Clytie
What does everyone think of Clytie, the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek Klytië? I'm pronouncing it "KLY-tee" (the first syllable rhyming with "shy"). I've long been enchanted by it but am expecting negativity (especially due to associations with clitoris...).
Clytie combos are fun to construct:
Clytie Angelica
Clytie Arabella
Clytie Araminta
Clytie Camellia
Clytie Camilla
Clytie Consuelo
Clytie Costanza
Clytie Eloisa
Clytie Esmeralda
Clytie Felicitas
Clytie Fernanda
Clytie Francesca
Clytie Georgina
Clytie Hesperia
Clytie Imogen/Imogene
Clytie Isabella

I don't like it for the association. Its a nice sound, however. I just think some names are extinct or going extinct for a reason.
Not a fan
I like it! Although, my accent would turn it into "Clydie". Which is still pretty cute, but not as nice as Clytie.
I'm not sure if Klytie would make the "clit" reference less likely?

"Clydie" is how I actually pronounce it, ha. I'm not refined enough to naturally emphasize the "t"!
I pronounce it like you, but then in my dialect the body part is a CLIToris, not a CLYtoris, so I don't have that problem.
I like Clytie Camilla, Clytie Miranda, Clytie Rosamond and Clytie Rowena.
What about Clytie Christiana? Clytie Annabel? Clytie Philippa? Clytie Gertrude?

I'm afraid my sole association is with clitorises. But people also say that about Clematis, which I love.
