Re: Liora, Annora and Melora.
in reply to a message by Haven
Which do I like best... hmm... I don't know, thanks to you I like all of them quite a bit for different reasons... Annora just has the sense of elegence and intellegence and autumn; Liora strikes me as very warm and bright like sun rays; Melora, but comparision, is cool and contemplative, strong but not flashy.
But, if I could only pick one, hmm... Probably Liora, if only because I think Lee is a fun shortening, where as with Annora I would live in constant fear of Annie while being less fearful, though still fearful, of yuppie-ish Nora. Mel is okay, but a bit plain, and Lora is... eh. By themselves, Mel and Lora aren't great, but put them together and you get Melora, which is awesome. Also, I think Liora is easiet to say. No idea why.
All three could work rather well. Melora works because Mel is relatively familiar. Annora works for the same reasons -- Ann and Nora are both familiar, though I think it would stick out a bit more than Melora for some reason. Liora fits, too, if only because the bright L-sound is very in right now: Lily, Emily, Kaylee, Julia... its a very familiar sound, but it sounds very fresh because not its at the beginning of the name, not at the end.
Yeah, I guess I really do like Liora best right now.
I think Annora goes best with Jonas, Ezra, Raphael, and Miriam, though. They all emit that sort of autumn/intellegence vibe.
