Re: Malcolm, Thekla and Thisbe
in reply to a message by vigdis
Thekla and Thisbe are NMS, even as GPs. I prefer Thisbe a tiny bit more because of its softer sound and its ties to ancient mythology, but on the other hand it sounds like a child who can't pronounce 'Frisbee'.
On a side note, Phryne is an interesting name as well. I haven't read the books, but again I like the ties to Ancient Greece (after five years of Latin courses, I have a soft spot for anything Greek, Roman or Italian).
Back on track: Malcolm is awesome. I like it a lot, but it's not high enough on my list at the moment for me to ever use.
Nile is okay, but it sounds really masculine to me. Probably because I met a male Niall once, pronounced the same way.
