ArchivesQuestion to GianFranco
Well,
I already post this message some other place, but was not seen... ;)
So, dear GianFranco (and others if any information is known), may I ask you where you 2nd name, ELIO, come from please?
I'd like to give it to my coming-soon-son (due in 2 weeks), with middle name JAE.
My husband would like something more like TELLY.
Our first son is PACO JALEEL.
Thanks for your input,
Mimi.

I used to think that "Elio" was the italianized version of Elias (or Eliyah) or the Italian variant of the latinization of Aeolus (god of winds), but now I would say it's more akin to the sun god "Helios" whose name means "sun" in Spanish he is called "Helio" likewise in Italian but in Italian there is no such letter as the "h" (which in Spanish is soundless)... So make your choice... I do not know nothing 'bout "Telly" and Paco is, as I know, akin to "Francisco" or "Frank" (if you understand Spanish see this: http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=109838&messageid=1087254903&lp=1098523687) Hope this helps, bye.

Well, thanks for all those infos, I like the idea of "sun" for my 2nd son.
We just realized that Elio and Telly are not that far, we should be able to compromise... ;)
I went to check the thread in spanish and got an idea of the question, as much as my memory for this language could help...
If I may, I would appreciate to get your suggestions about names that fit with Paco Jaleel (our 1st son's manes).

Sorry, I do not know how to help... I'm not very good at the subjective part of things... Personally I believe that names and their meanings are of better use in naming fictional characters... Real humans need names more akin to their own cultural background and phonetical aesthetics making connection with their surnames... Personally I had problems with being called "Elio" in part because it made me think about the boring "Elliot Ness" (boring to me at least) and the gas "Helium" (which got it's name due to it's presence in the sun I think)... In Italy it might have been fine, but here in Peru it seemed far to out of background... Now I've gone used to it and I do not have a problem with it... But some names have permanent effects... A name affects those who use it due to it's popularity... For example a local madman called his daughter "Neuronachedoso" and that is a terrible stigma for it literraly means "Neuron,H2O"... It's profound meaning might be beyond this but it's immediate cacophony and meaning makes it terrible... Kids can be nasty... So... I can only think to say that... Take your time and try the best sounding more eccentric options of the mainstream... Yet try to remain mainstream... Bye, farewell and fare well, good luck with your child.
