HelpRe: Phyllida
in reply to a message by erb816
It’s not my type at all, though I will admit it’s better than Phyllis. Actually, now that I think about it - would Chlorida be better than Chloris?

Chlorida
I've never seen Chlorida, though I have seen Clorinda before (it's the actress Linda Fiorentino's real name).
At first I was digging Chlorida when I saw this post, but then the sound started reminding me too much of Florida.

I guess it depends on how you pronounce it: Chlorida could be either "KLOR-id-uh" or “klor-IHD-uh".
I know Chlorida doesn’t exist, but it was just a random thought - since Ancient Greek names that end in "-is" seem to always change to "-ida" when they’re used as modern Greek names. You can see this with Elpis and Elpida (a very common Greek name), Phyllis and Phyllida, Iris and Irida, etc.
I assumed the same might be true with Chloris and the hypothetical Chlorida.
