Re: Thoughts on Cypress?
in reply to a message by nate_h
I would expect the name to belong to a female because of the -ess ending like in priestess or empress. What I dislike about it is that this ending makes it sound a bit like the name of a profession (actress, stewardess, seamstress). What I like about it is that it's a nature name and also that it might be a neat way to name a girl after someone named Cyprian.
