Re: Thoughts on this classic girls's names?
in reply to a message by Mokoš Ní Boii
Minerva - Athena - in spite of the fact that I'm not a fan of -th- I prefer Athena, mostly because I can't get past Minerva McGonagall association.
Artemis 🖤 - I've only recently started to warm up to Artemis, (I wish the second syllable was stressed).
Diana - is an epitome of modern classics
Luna 🖤 - alluring
Emilia 🖤 - I love Emilia, it's down-to-earth, solid and safe. Something you won't regret choosing.
Amalia - is a tad clunky
Lavinia - Livia - strangly enough, I'm not a fan
Charlotte - my long-forgotten beau - my favourite doll was named Charlotte
Jezabel - for some reason it makes me think of beetles; it sounds shockingly modern, imo
Scarlett - oh, well, the first thought - Scarlett Johansson not even Scarlett O'Hara((
Persephone - in theory it's epic: chthonic goddess etc... but in reality it's just Percy + phone.
Morwen / Morwyn - dark, Morgana-esque name.
Viola, Stella, Clara - I can easily imagine that they are a vintage sister-set.
Iva - cute but meek, the meaning is the best part of this name
Ariadne - I hate any NNs, it's ok as it is. I also like Ariadna.
Lilith 🖤 - used to be on my personal top 3
Viatrix - good name for a travel agency or airplane. But tbh, I like quirky -x names: Salvatrix & Beatrix
Freya - it lost the aura of mysteriousness, imo. Is it bad? Not at all
Freydis - interesting, reminds me of Viridis, which I like
Milena - I wonder why it's not more popular, keeping in mind that Mila and Lena / Elena are well liked.
Lada - a "sister name" to Leda, Lida / Lyda.
Bozhena - I find it charming
Viera or Vjera - Vera is smoother
Zora, Zorja or Zorya - all I see is Zorro
Mathilda - I hate -h- here
Maia, Silvia 🖤 - I might gladly use them
Rosalind - my favourite Rose- name, along with Rosemary
Vesna - cute, fresh. I think of lilies-of-the-valley
Vladana, Svatava, Svatoslava - I've never heard about them. I'd hate to shorten them. (But I doubt that NNs are avoidable)
About *Mira* names: just Mira 🖤 is perfect, love it as it is.
Stanislava & Yaroslava - I imagine tall blonde & brunette princesses, who are also a powerful sorceresses
Dagmar - strong & solemn
Doubravka - prefer Dubravka. I imagine a medieval castle named in honour of a legendary queen Dubrava
Artemis 🖤 - I've only recently started to warm up to Artemis, (I wish the second syllable was stressed).
