Re: Opinions on Baby Name Ideas?
in reply to a message by M
Eila reminds me of Eileen. The sound (Isla) seems fashionable, I don't have a problem with the spelling, and I like Claire.Where did the idea for Eris come from? (Like other people have said, I associate the goddess of discord or Aerys Targaryen or "heiress", which makes me not really like it, but it seems like none of those are where your idea came from, and I could ignore them if had a positive association.) I think it'd work ok, by which I mean that it's readable and sounds familiar despite being obscure, and I doubt people would take any issue with it...but I feel like I'd rather see something like Idris, Emrys, Erasmus, Erik, Ari, Ariel, Elias, Ellis, Harris. Or is it supposed to be like Ares? I don't mind Ares by itself, but I don't like it with Thorn. I like the idea of Emrys Thorn, though.

Honestly, I'd been thinking about “Ae” names, came across the name Aeris, and just dropped the E. I feel like out of all of the names I’d only be able to change Eris, because It doesn't actually have any personal depth to it. I do really like the idea of Emrys, but I think I’d like it even better as a girls name!

Ditto Idris, Emrys, Elias, and maybe Ares. Erik doesn't quite fit the vibe but it would sound good with Thorn. What about Eras? It could be pronounced almost like Eris, and/or it could be short for Erasmus.
