HelpClytie
What does everyone think of Clytie, the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek Klytië? I'm pronouncing it "KLY-tee" (the first syllable rhyming with "shy"). I've long been enchanted by it but am expecting negativity (especially due to associations with clitoris...).
Clytie combos are fun to construct:
Clytie Angelica
Clytie Arabella
Clytie Araminta
Clytie Camellia
Clytie Camilla
Clytie Consuelo
Clytie Costanza
Clytie Eloisa
Clytie Esmeralda
Clytie Felicitas
Clytie Fernanda
Clytie Francesca
Clytie Georgina
Clytie Hesperia
Clytie Imogen/Imogene
Clytie Isabella
Clytie Isadora/Isidora
Clytie Melisande
Clytie Millicent
Clytie Minerva
Clytie Miranda
Clytie Perpetua
Clytie Philomena
Clytie Priscilla
Clytie Raffaella/Raphaela
Clytie Rosalind
Clytie Rosamond/Rosamund
Clytie Rosario
Clytie Rosetta
Clytie Rosina
Clytie Rowena
Clytie Roxana/Roxan(n)e
Clytie Serafima
Clytie Susanna
Clytie Wilhelmina
Clytie Winifred
Clytie Zuleika

I don't like it for the association. Its a nice sound, however. I just think some names are extinct or going extinct for a reason.
Not a fan
I like it! Although, my accent would turn it into "Clydie". Which is still pretty cute, but not as nice as Clytie.
I'm not sure if Klytie would make the "clit" reference less likely?

"Clydie" is how I actually pronounce it, ha. I'm not refined enough to naturally emphasize the "t"!
I pronounce it like you, but then in my dialect the body part is a CLIToris, not a CLYtoris, so I don't have that problem.
I like Clytie Camilla, Clytie Miranda, Clytie Rosamond and Clytie Rowena.
What about Clytie Christiana? Clytie Annabel? Clytie Philippa? Clytie Gertrude?

I'm afraid my sole association is with clitorises. But people also say that about Clematis, which I love.
