Re: Anatolia and Lucretia
in reply to a message by Xenokleia
Anatolia as a given name seems really strange to me. It's the name of a region in Turkey, and I think of Anatolia as a place before I think of it as a name. I can't imagine it being used on an actual person. (I have the same problem with other well-known place names like America, London and China.) It's also a little too long, in my opinion; four syllables is typically my cut-off point.
Lucretia isn't really my style, but it's alright. I prefer to say loo-KRAY-shah, since I find the "creesh" sound in the other pronunciation unattractive.

Anatolia is actually used because of a saint rather than the region in Turkey. Then again, it's rather rare as a name (though I have heard it used in parts of Italy), so I guess people might be weirded out.
Weird, I didn't even think that many people would be worried about Anatoli being a place!
