HelpRe: Darwin, Adair and Ileana ...
in reply to a message by Ciarda
Ileana is really pretty. I prefer Iliana--it looks more stream-lined to me--but either spelling is very nice. And if the nephew likes it--it's in the bag, right? ;) Ileana Ruth is lovely. Very balanced sounding to me.
Darwin is one I just don't like. I've got nothing against Charles--I believe in evolution and my faith in God somehow wasn't shattered--but I've read The Nanny Diaries. There's a monstrously bratty kid named Darwin in that book. He's very minor, but he stuck in my mind. So Darwin's out for me, though I do like Edwin / Darian / Darren / Darius / Corwin pretty well.
Adair is neat looking, though it's always sounded consumptive to me--I wouldn't expect Adair Julian Young, as an example, to live past the age of twenty. He'd fade away beautifully in bed, pale and dark-haired, with a reassurance to his lady-love on his dry lips and a pure heart slowing its beats. :P I say uh-DARE when I pronunce it (just like "a dare").
I'm not sure what you'd name a son, though I'd be okay with any of those options. :)
