...and Constantine too.
*quietly adds Constantine to PNL*
..:D
..I know a girl who wants to name her daughter Konstantine. It drives me insane. She gets really defensive every time I try to talk her out of the K or out of the girliness.
Yes, the -er -or- ar sounds are quite out of fashion today. I am going to do a quick project and see if I can ctrl+F ANY er's in the top 500 that don't close of occupational surnames. Here goes:
..Okay also on the ends of names like Christopher. Emphasized ones, is what I mean.
Okay here goes:
Jeremiah, which I do not count because it is Jair, and long a is so popular. besides it's not emphasized
Ditto Eric
157 Fernando I almost count
Same 197 Sergio
218 Roberto (but these are all long A's!)
Okay to be fair there aren't a LOT of er- emphasized syllabels altogether. Still - where are all the Ernestines? I want some Ernestines!
Do not worry, I will use Minerva and you will all know. :D
The funny thing about Joan of Arc was that her name was actually Jeanne. I wonder sometimes why we decided to call her Joan instead of Jane or Joanna.
LOL, Corny? Really? Well that is fine for him. Neil seems more intuitive for me. The cor- sound has grown on me a LOT after I began trying to work in honoring a Cory into my names. (Cory is still really dreadful though.) I know a Cornelius too, except I haven't seen him in years, I don't know if he got out of middle school. He just used his whole name.

*is super proud*
Come to think of it, I might have inspired it. I do recall a post a long time ago with all of my GPs, including Lapis Lazuli. Glad to know it rubbed off on somebody! But Constantine, growl, my name! LOL just kidding, but I get first dibs for kids! I do like Sergio, but you're right, it's like an AIR sound, not an AR sound. And concerning Joan, why the heck DO we call her Joan? Jeanne is so much cooler, in my opinion. Oh well, not much we can do now.
