Help[Opinions] Re: Simon Erasmus and Amadea Mariel
in reply to a message by Danielle
Simon Erasmus is very smart sounding.
Amadea Mariel sounds quite flighty in comparison. I think I'd quite like the name Daphne Maris, so you get a favourite in with the nice water reference, keeping the Biblical aspect too.

It is interesting that you find Amadea Mariel flighty. I'll have to see if it strikes other people that way. If so, then I'd probably want to change it.
Curious: Does Amadea bug you or is "Mariel" the problem?
Daphne Maris is quite pretty.

I think it's the long As in the combo. It seems very now, as in Layla and Kayla and other long A names are popular. Nothing is inherently wrong with it, it just seems very different to sturdious Simon.

Ah, that makes sense. I tend to like names to be a little bit 'grounded,' and I haven't entirely been sold on this combo & haven't been able to put my finger on why. Maybe that's the reason.
Maybe I need something to counter balance the heavy use of As in Amadea. My first ideas was Daphne Amadea, which accomplishes that goal. My husband likes Amadea first however ....
I am glad that Simon Erasmus has the right feel!
