Re: Tarquin? (also, out of curiousity,)
in reply to a message by Tippins
Tarquin is neat. Much cooler than Quinn IMO, I really like the sound too and how it looks.
Tarquin Lapis Lazuli seems very fantasy-ish, and for some reason very sparkly. I think it's because I used to confuse Tarquin with Topaz (?) and well, Lapis Lazuli, obviously.
Cecilia - used to love this. Now it just sounds whiny and hissy. But it has a great history to it.
Joan - love love love. It reminds me of old Jazz dancers but it obviously ages well. And Joan of Arc is great. Every time I mention Joan someone puts me down about it and I settle with Joanna, which I like but one day it will have to battle it out with Joan.
Minerva - Mysterious, clever, slightly harsh but really pretty. You just have to use it!
Benedict - it's regal and interesting but not for me.
Cornelius - LOL my first thought is Fudge. Then I think how pretentious and unrealistic it is, and let's hope no one calls him corny :) But if I was to ask someone what their middle name was and they told me Cornelius, I would be so excited!

Oh hey! There Quinn is, right there, sitting in Tarquin! I do not think Quinn is cool at all, it seems very silly to me that it's getting attention on this board / irl, but I like it a lot in Tarquin!
Tarquin seems kind of medieval to me and therefore a bit fantasyish. It is also sparkly to me because of the t and the a and the qu. I am glad someone else sees it as sparkly :D that is one of my favorite qualities. I love glittery names.
Cecilia's always been a hisser to me. :D Ava, Madison, Emily, Isabella, and then nasty old Cecilia ruining everyone's fun. Heeeem.
I love Joanna too. Is it on my PNL yet? It should be. It is so simple and pretty. Totes different from Joan though.
I always for get how cool JKRowling names her characters! D:
I actually knew a Cornelius who didn't have nicknames. And yeah it is pretentious I wouldn't use it probably, unless I had about fifty kids. But man is it stompy and fun!
Thanks!
