HelpRe: Thoughts on Serafina
in reply to a message by Tiggs
I'm not a fan of Bronte personally. There are very few female B names that I care for. My favorite B name is Beatrice. I also like Beatrix and Beatriz.
Bronte actually has always sounded more masculine to me than Dante. I think Dante sounds like the name Dawn with tay added at the end, at least that is how the name is pronounced around here. Bronte sounds like the word brawn with tay added at the end. I dislike the brawn part of Bronte.
But Dante is pronounced differently in certain parts of the US and in other countries. Which might cause some problems but that is also true for some other names as well, especially Greek names. Artemis and Athena are some of the few Greek names that the English pronunciation is close to the Greek pronunciation.
I met a female Dante before when visiting Sol Duc hotsprings in the Olympic National Park. She was a Salish Indian from one of the local tribes. I think she was part Lower Elwa and part Quileute. She was a very cute little girl and I talked a bit with her grandfather and mentioned that my partners favorite girls name was Dante.
The idea for us of a female Dante came from watching Full Metal Alchemist (the first one, not Brotherhood). Full Metal Alchemist is an anime.
