[Opinions] Sevhil (+ Elzara & Ilmi)
Spotted on a Ukrayinska Pravda article from 2019: Sevhil Musayeva was an editor. Crimean Tatar girl name that means "beloved", name was probably originally Sevgil or Sevgili.
Pronounced sehv-heel. I did a poll on the name and nobody liked it :') so I wondered if anyone on the message board like Sevhil. If no, why not? I like Sevhil, it sounds very pretty with Ukrainian accent and it has great meaning. How do you feel about Sevhil & Elzara sibset? What about Sevhil & Ilmi? Or all three? (Elzara is girl name, Ilmi is boy name)
I might use it in book.All three are on submitted names

Ilmihttps://www.behindthename.com/name/i50lmi/submitted

As someone who is part Tatar (Russian Tatar) think they're all lovely
I like Sevhil, it's cute with a nice meaning, but I adore Elzara - magnificent and whimsical. I only like Ilmi as a Finnish feminine name. Sevhil & Elzara is a nice sibset.

Love Sevhil and Ezara, nice sibset. Ilmi is too nickname-like to me - I think name Ilmir exist but not added on site, Ilmi sounds like could be diminutive/short for it.
*I'm not saying it is, I don't know that. It's just my impression.
Elzara is wonderful.
It’s lovely, as is Elzara!
I think it's pretty. Although, since it's unfamiliar, it seems similar to Seville in my accent (not a bad thing really but enough that I'd wonder if sometimes people might mishear it) and then more distantly Sybil or (even more distantly but more negatively) sev* words like severe.I guess voters here mainly wouldn't like it because it's unfamiliar.Sevhil and Elzara would be a cool sibset.
Ilmi is ok but less interesting seeming to me.
