HelpRe: Glykeria
in reply to a message by Sunflower
Maybe like naming a girl Honey. A little too saccharine for me. Usable but I don't find it appealing.
The Greek singer named Glykeria is the only one I've ever heard of. So the name gives me a little bit of "celeb mononym" impression - like Alizée, Ruslana, Selena, Beyonce, Sia, etc. I'm not sure how common that perception would be, though.
On Forvo the Greek prn is something like glee-keh-REE-a (at least that's as close as I can get with my American phonemes, to how it sounds). Which isn't very appealing, to my ears anyway. Where I live, probably a lot of people would just be reminded of Greek-derived sciency words like hyperglycemia and glucose, and so it would not sound very namey.
