HelpRe: Thinking about some names
in reply to a message by Lael
Aracelis - pretty, though personally I prefer Araceli
Blanca - love the sound
Elodia - yeah, I think of weed.
Mireia - nice sound, looks pretty on paper.
Pacifica (completely GP) - I can imagine calling a pet fish this, it's kinda cool, but maybe a bit much for a person.
Also found Jessenia, which made me giggle. Possible alternative to Jessica? - don't see why not, though I've grown quite fond of Jessica lately, despite its datedness.
Spyridon (GP) - I have a distant cousin called this who goes by Spyro. It's neat, though I have no idea what kind of reactions he gets from his name.
Mateo - fine for someone else
Marco - I know its not, but Marco has always seemed like a nn for Mark to me. I like it though.
Gaspar - really dislike the way it looks and sounds, but then again I'm not a Jasper fan either.

I think I'm missing something.
A couple people have mentioned weed with Elodia, and I have no idea why. What am I forgetting or not knowing?

Elodia is a species of seaweed--we used it in biology in my high school. Check out what you get when you Google imagesearch it, and you'll see what I mean. :)
It's not really a bad association, but for me, it's nothing that improves a name that I already don't care for.

Eta: Ack--see Kate, lol. Clearly, I didn't pay quite enough attention to note the spelling.

Huh.
I could've googled, my bad. I just thought it was some sort of random slangy or pop-culture assocation I was clueless about. No, it's really seaweed. Huh. Perchance we'll stick with Elodie, which I do like, but I prefer prn the French way to the English, although I think I like Elodia over the French Elodie anyway just for lack of pretention that way. *shrug*

I'm sure this sounds weird, but I like Elodea (the seaweed). It is fun to look at under a microscope and I think it looks pretty in a fish tank. For me, it wouldn't be a negative association for Elodia.
Edited for spelling.
