HelpRe: Thora
in reply to a message by Lily
I love Thora. It's so out-of-the-ordinary-yet-still-classic. Thora Willow is my stock combination, but I worry that I'm being unconciously influenced by the acctress Thora Birch. (Not that she's a bad associaiton at all. I just like to *think* that I'm original.) I don't like Thor at all for a boy; it sounds too comicbook hero-ish. But Thora for a girl is great. Go figure.
Aquinnah? Is that a Native American name? I knod of like it. It reminds me of Thomas Aquinas more than America, but that sort of gives it a two dimentional quality that I'm digging. I'm not big on Quinn as the nn though. Too masculine. (I assume Aquinnah is for a girl, right?)

Yes, Aquinnah would be for a girl. I could call her Quinn sometimes but she'd have a longer, more feminine name to fall back on. I pronounce it ah-KWINN-nah whereas I pronounce Aquina more like ah-KEE-na, but I've been to a place named Aquina, pronounced like that. I also like Aquinna pronounced like Aquinnah.
Yeah, Aquinnah is a place that was named by Native Americans as far as I know. It means "land under the hill".
I like Thora Birch, too. Thora Willow is pretty. I like Thor for a boy, but only with an English pronunciation. For some reason I dislike the Scandinavian one in which the Th is pronounced as a T.
