to go with your last name
in reply to a message by Liore
If you're concerned with a name sounding too fantasy or Arthurian, look for other meanings of the names you like. First, though, I just wanted to say that Opal Naja Lefay sounds just fine - not to fairy-tale-ish. Personally I think Naja (nay-ah) Opal Lefay sounds even better.The unfortunate thing with the name River is 1) River Phoenix (a famous and now dead, therefore immortalized, actor) and 2) River Tam (a really beloved character from the super cult hit TV show Firefly and the fantastic movie Serenity).So, if you really like River, some alternatives could be Rivier or Riviere, Aradat, Fiume, Elv... which are literal translations of the word 'river' into various languages. Then there are names with 'river' or a similar word in the meaning (I just used BtN to find these...) like Aeronwy (which I think would sound pretty with Lefay), Guadalupe, Kendall (though this is rather trendy), Shannon, Beverly, Elva, Rhea, Rilla, Ava, Maya, Moana, Naida, Tallulah, Maytal...Do the same thing with Star and Aurelia (gold) - who knows, maybe you'll find something that's a better fit and that you like!
