Help[Opinions] Re: Serena & Corinna.
in reply to a message by Steph
Well, I like both about equally. But Corinna and Serena do not rhyme, imo. I would assume Corinna was cor-INN-ah and Serena was seh-REE-nah. I guess you're saying Corinna like I say Corrina, though.
However, how are you pronouncing Helena? If it's heh-LEE-nah, please don't use it as a sibling to either Corinna or Serena. Way too rhyme-y! Helen-ah would probably sound best as a sister to either one, but even heh-LAY-nah is a bit too similar in sound, IMO. Also Helena and Serena, even if they don't rhyme, look too similar for sisters to me, too. :-/

Corinna comes from the name Korinna, which all similar names stem from (Corrina, Corinne, etc.). It is prounounced Cor-EE-nah, and I prefer this spelling because it is closest to the original (which I would prefer to use, but don't like the K).
We'd pronounce it Heh-LAY-nah. I'm not that worried about them looking similar. Plus, we wouldn't call them their full names all that often; we tend to use nicknames. I kind of wanted to know if they were too similar, but I'm thinking now that it doesn't really matter to me... it's not as though they'll always be a sibset after all. But thanks for the input!
