[Opinions] Re: Rune ...
in reply to a message by Ciarda
I think Rune would work fine in the US prn-wise. The fact that it rhymes with "loon" however, does not work it its favor...Looney Runey, Rune the Loon come to mind and that's without trying. :o) I do love the way it sounds, though. I think that it *could* work, depending on the area where you live and the parents'/parent's and child's personalities. Rune and Willow make an awesome sibset, imo - Rune and Mira, not so much and Rune and Ayla are just way too different stylistically (I think, anyway) to be used as sibs.
That being said, Draven and Ayla sound cool together, as well as Draven and Willow. Mira is so sweet-sounding, though, that many of your favorite boys' names just seem to over-power it, Taj, Viven, and Hugh being exceptions. Ayla goes especially well with Bodhi, Hawthorn, Kyan, and Wolfstan. Willow pairs best with Asher, Hawthorn, Stellan, and Dominic.

And yet another suggestion for Draven! How funny, usually people don't really care for it : )
Yep, Rune & Loon do rhyme, haha. Reminds of the fact that as much as I like Luna, it just makes me think of Tuna, haha.
I was thinking about Viven more seriously last night, I do like it, and it has the added bonus of being a family name. But then, the same goes for Hugh : )
I thought about Ayla & Kyan. Of course then my family would have an Ella & an Ayla, and a Ci'Ann (KY-ann) & a Kyan, haha, how confusing.
Hmm, I like that both Ayla & Wolfstan have literary associations for me.
Willow & Hawthorn may be overkill, haha. And yet, it's cute. And do like Willow with Asher, Stellan and Dominic : )
Thank you Korrine!
