Re: Althea
in reply to a message by whim
Althea is lovely and fresh. Of your combos, I like Althea Joy best. For me, it isn't filler. It was what I was feeling after my first child was born -- pure joy. Unfortunately, dh didn't agree with me and our prior agreement was that he'd choose the mn so he did.
The other combos are nice as well although I'm not really into nns (Kate) on the bc. Family names are nice but only if the parents actually want to use them, imo. I don't believe someone should feel pressured (self-imposed or otherwise) to use them.
I'd say Althea Lily is my second favorite here. It reminds me of moonlight shining on the lake. Eh, sorry that's the best I can do in the AM. It does conjure up images of moonlight and water and I do love water lilies so there you go. :-)
