Re: Florisdelfa
in reply to a message by I like old names
"When she saw how beautiful Iseult (her competition [for a man's affections]) was, she [sorceress Florisdelfa] threw herself from the crystal tower to her death."
How inauspicious. And cringey, too.
I think the name seems awkward, almost like a joke, especially with that context.
The -sd- in the middle makes it seem like two different names forced together awkwardly.
It reminds me of Florida smushed badly with Philadelphia. Floridelphia would seem less awkward.
