Re: wdyt of Charmian?
in reply to a message by Catriona
I love, love, love Charmian!
I pronounce it KAR-mee-an though, with a hard "k" sound like in Chloe and Charis. How are you saying it? If you pronounce it the same as I do, it might cause confusion, but imo people would quickly get used to the pronunciation.
I like Lysander, but I don't think it's that usable except as a middle name ... The female form Lysandra is more usable imo. I love Helena and Beatrice. I also like Hero and Paris, and while I agree Hero isn't very usable, I think Paris is. In fact, it's quite in fashion at the moment for both sexes. (Boys named Paris are are the rage for new-money Londoners.)
