Help[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Baby Name Ideas?
in reply to a message by M
Eila doesn't read like Isla to me. When I read it I think it should rhyme with Kayla. I like the idea of using the last 4 letters of your mom's name but I would change the pronunciation to be more intuitive if it's the letters/spelling you're after.
Isla Claire would be nice. Eila Claire, even pronounced the same, is more awkward because Eila has all the letters of Claire except the C. It looks redundant.
Eris Thorn looks cool, but Eris makes me think 'goddess of discord' so I'd assume it was a girl (or more likely a female cat). I like the sound of Eris for a boy though. Aerys maybe? I like Aerys Thorn too, but it is a lot less simple and everyone would assume it was from ASOIAF.

I never noticed that Eila and Claire had the same letters😂I don't have a better idea, but I love the spelling Aerys! We were initially going to go with Aeris but dropped the A because we realized we could do both E names, but that would at least help with the goddess association issue.

I think they meant that all of the letters in the name Eila we're also in the name Claire. Although, I'm not sure I see the problem there, since it isn't repetitive like “lilah delilah”🤷♀️

A lot of people don't like "Ae". I like it, but I also wouldn't want my baby to be associated with Aerys Targaryen. Aeris looks a little feminine to me but it could work.
(also I forgot about the "r" in Claire, still includes all the letters of Eila though)

I'd rather them not get bullied for their names..so it seems I may need to go back to the drawing board😂🤦♀️Thank you for your help!
