HelpRe: Iolanthe?
in reply to a message by Brendan
I've recently started loving the most unusal girls' names, so I'm definately a fan. When I first read it, I thought I might be mispronouncing it but I wasn't. I think others might have the same problem - they get it right but don't think they did.
Anyhow...
I'm usually not a fan of mn's having more syllables than first names, so I would normally prefer Antonia Iolanthe over Annora Iolanthe. (Plus I don't like Emmelina.) However, I also feel that it is a lot of syllables and many people might get tongue-tied trying to say her name (though the full name is rarely spoken). I would, thus, suggest a short fn, or maybe Ianthe instead of Iolanthe?
(I seem to be much more talkative than usual today! Hope that's not bothersome.)
