Re: Marcella
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
It's nice. I prefer it to a lot of comparable names, don't love the meaning, but it has a lot of other things (sound, familiar but not annoyingly so, + vibe) going for it.
These combos stood out to me:
Marcella Dido
Marcella Betony
Marcella Ottoline
Marcella Peony
Marcella Vashti
...I guess I'd most like it with unusual, maybe short and/or pithy, maybe floral, names that begin with those letters and don't end in A.
The only of those 5 MNs I like by itself is Vashti, though Marcella Dido seems really fun, so those 2 tie for my fav...and both MNs remind me of singers, hmm.
I think Marcella Rosamund and Marcella Beatrix are great, though they both sound pretty conservative (or chic but doubly old fashioned) to me. They're my 2nd fav.
