Richenza / Richenda
by Wordsmith

What does everyone think of these highly obscure, etymologically unrelated but similar-sounding names? I love both of them, for they emit different vibes for me: whereas Richenza is glamorous and ostentatious, Richenda is more staid and reserved, though both are unquestionably dignified. Does one seem more usable than the other? Are both too fanciful or outlandish for use? I'm interested in your thoughts! Also, although I've made countless combinations for both names, feel free to list any that spring to mind.

I think they'd be more usable in literature than real life. They have a fairy tale-esque quality imo.

They do have a certain medieval charm and dignity, and I think they're both usable, but they don't particularly appeal to me either. The prospect of Ricky or Richie is very off-putting.
They'd work best for me with a very simple middle, like Jane or Lucy.

I guess I agree in your descriptions of them, though I personally don't much like them. I've never been a fan of "Rich" to begin with. The "ch" sound is just very unpleasant to me most of the time for some reason. I don't think either of them are too fanciful or outlandish however. They have that vibe of off-beat old-timey names, but with the frilliness of popular names these days that I think makes them more usable. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to meet a girl with either of these names while subbing lol Or, hell, a woman of any age.
