Re: Tarquin? (also, out of curiousity,)
in reply to a message by Tippins
Tarquin - Tarquin is really neat. I would never use it, but it's nice.
Lapis Lazuli - Names like this are generally nmsaa so I won't comment further.
Cecilia - I love Cecilia. Very classic and musical.
Joan - The sound of Joan doesn't appeal to me at all. I love Jane, though.
Minerva - I like it, but the "erv" sound bothers me for some reason. Minnie is a great nn.
Benedict - Very nice. I think it's a great alternative to Benjamin.
Cornelius - I love this. It's a little long, but I think Neil could be a nn. I love Cornelia, too.
