HelpRe: Medea
in reply to a message by Lily8
I love the name Medea! It's one of my favourites. I think Medea is the best spelling, as Medeia might lead to some strange pronunciations, though it does look very pretty. I prefer the combo Noah Medea, as Sofia (so-FEE-ah) sounds weak to me. I only like the pronunciation so-FIE-ah.
And it's hard to find a mythological name that doesn't have a story behind it like Medea's, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Clytemnestra, Iphigenia, Electra, Persephone, Leda and Cassandra all have stories that could be perceived as negative behind them, but I don't love them any less. I think an interesting story and strong character often adds to a name.
