Ooh
Very inventive of you. I like Ancora (partly because it reminds me of that fabulous Il Divo CD). Fidelis is one that I would never, ever use because it reminds me of "Fidel Castro". Lux appeals to me for some reason. I like Mea as it reminds me of Mia & because it can be paired with other names to create meanings like "my blessing" etc. Milia is very pretty & refreshing as far as M-names go. Thank you for sharing this. It was most interesting. Why are you taking Latin? You're not studying Law by any chance?

No, I'm not studying law, it's just my language choice at achool.
