In all of the names listed below in the "New Loves" thread, I almost commented on Aleydis. The sound is gorgeous. Where does it come from? It sounds medieval, like an old form of Adelheidis. I'm guessing you are pronouncing it, "ah-LAY-dis." Is that correct?
Aleydis Fleur -- It's not too fancy to me. It's my favorite of all of these. Gorgeous flow.
Aleydis Primose -- I'm not a fan of prim and prissy Primrose anyway. But the flow is off here with Aleydis. They both end in an "s" or "z" sound. It's too same-y for my ears.
Aleydis Bethan -- Beautiful. Strong. Love it.
Aleydis Evelyn -- The "L" sounds bother me here. My ears need more contrasting sounds.
Aleydis Octavia -- Yes. Too over the top.
Aleydis Bronwen -- Just a smidgeon too tough for me. I suppose I might not have felt this way if Aleydis Bethan wasn't so perfect sounding.
Aleydis Flora / Florence -- Again, I'd cross of Florence for the ending-in-the-same-sound offense as Aleydis Primrose. Aleydis Flora is great. I just prefer Aleydis Fleur.
Nns: Allie, Lady, Addie, Alix?
ETA: A quick google search of Aleydis brought me to name sites that I'm not familiar with so I can't vouch for their authenticity. But they all have Aleydis as a Dutch or german form of Adelaide, which came from the earlier form Adelheidis. Yay, the Information Age! Very handy.
