HelpRe: Seven & Sevyn + others
in reply to a message by Manipura
Sevyn looks like a "legitimate" name... at first glance.
Seven is generic and characterless, IMO, but it sounds good, stupid, but good.
Septima and Septimus are hopelessly, ridiculously old-fashioned. And they sound unpleasant.
September sounds a tad better, plus Ember is an OK NN. (I've been born in September, yes, I'm biased)
And I'd prefer Severina & Severin to any of the above mentioned names. Severina is a former GP of mine.
Strangely enough, I'd prefer November to September and I find Octavia and Nona better than Septima.
ETA: What would you think if you met a kid named Sevyn or Seven?
Honestly, I would think about numbers: lucky seven and gambling then I'd assume that a kid was born on the 7th, then I'd try to guess whether parents honoured September or July.
