Re: Nefertiti, Cleopatra & Hatshepsut ?
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
I think all three are usuable as a MN, as a FN I could only see Cleopatra, since it would probably get shortened to Cleo anyway.
Nefertiti - I like this but I would never use it. It is the name of a female genital piercing (yick) but then again so is Christina and Isabella and those get used all the time. I only know that because I was into piercings for a while and looked a lot of them up. (Yick.) Nothing I would consider doing but at least I am educated should anyone need any info, LOL
Cleopatra - I think this seems the most like a modern day name, and the fact that it is the most well known might either help it or hinder it depending on your viewpoint.
Hatshepsut - Really like this one as a MN. It would need the perfect FN, and I really can't think of what that may be, haha.
Egypt - I like this, I could see it on a girl or boy
Cairo - This is on my list. I think it's unisex also.
Pharaoh - Very different. Very you. I wouldn't consider it, but I would be very interested in meeting a little Pharaoh. I think even though Pharaohs were normally male, this would only work on a girl because it would be really pretentious on a boy, and the soft F and O sounds strike me as feminine.
