ArchivesThree names for girls
I'd like to know the meaning of the name Hyleas (I guess it's Greek).
Then I have two other questions:
The name Zenitha seems to be pretty common in Finland. Is this a variant of Zinaida?
Is Binnie a "real" English name? What could it be a nickname for?
I'm just a grain of sand
On the dunes next to the sea
Or in the clock inside the glass
I'm no more than a candle
Able to illuminate
A little bit of darkness

Re: Binnie,
I'm English and the only name that I came close too like this is
" Bunnie " and it was short for Bernadette. Not much help to you - but another idea ?

I am not sure what you mean by a "real" name. I have come across Binnie in a novel used as a nn for Belinda.
I have also heard of it IRL too in a magazine article or biography, prehaps. Sorry I can't be more specific.
It strikes me as being very nn.

Zenitha in Finland
I don't have any info on Zenitha but I can tell you it is not common in Finland. According to the Finnish Population Register Centre, only three Finns have been given the name Zenitha in the past century. The letters Z and th make it very un-Finnish. Maybe you're thinking of some other country?

No, I was really thinking of Finland. I know Z and th are usually not used in Finland (I live in Sweden) and it doesn't sound Finnish to me, but I read about a girl here in Sweden called Zenitha who looked a bit Finnish and then I heard it on TV where it was the name of a Finnish or Finland-Swedish girl, so I just guessed it was common in Finland, but then I was wrong. Sorry!

Binnie. I don't think that is a real name, no. I live in America and I've never heard/seen it.
