HelpRe: Alcyone and Halcyone
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
I like them both pretty equally. I don’t know if I would call them GPs, but I do like them.
I’ve always pronounced them with a "k", since that’s technically the correct way and it isn’t hard for English-speakers. The Y is pronounced like "ee" very often in Greek, actually - in fact, Alcyone/Alkyone and Halcyone/Halkyone are pronounced in Greek as "ahl-key-O-nee" (roughly).
For nicknames, I would use Hallie for Halcyone and Allie for Alcyone. Kinda boring, I know.
Halcyone Odette
Halcyone Lucille
Halcyone Louise
Halcyone Camille
Alcyone Elise
Alcyone Colette
Alcyone Solène
Alcyone Estelle
Alcyone Celeste
(I’m not sure why I paired them with French names but I felt like they fit well)
