HelpRe: Semiramis
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I am almost positive that I say this name wrong in my mind, but I am very attached to it being said this way: "sa-MEER-ah-mee". I must have picked that pronunciation up a million years ago from a glossary in some obscure book. I also have this unshakeable belief that it has a meaning relating to doves, like "born from doves" or something similarly fanciful.
I looked up the name for more info, and it's pretty cool that "Shamiram" is the modern version of Semiramis, and it's still given to girls in Armenia, Syria, Turkey and Iraq!
Semiramis is lovely, it's like an elaborate form of Samira (I know it isn't, but it's what I think of), which I find very beautiful and lush.
I love how ancient Semiramis feels, it really does look like a name for a sort of immortal woman-sorceress-goddess, like the "She" of an H. Rider Haggard novel. So, inspired by that, I might offer up the combo of Semiramis Ayesha.
The colours of Semiramis Delphine are really working for me, that's a lovely combo.
