[Opinions] Re: Disa and Valentine
in reply to a message by Uilos
Disa sounds a bit close to diesel, but if I get over that, I like it.
Valentine (which I say as val-un-teen when I see it as a name) seems more feminine to me, maybe partly because I specifically associate it with a character from The Count of Monte Cristo. Valentin seems more masculine. I feel that way with most *tine/*tin names - like, thinking Augustine and Constantine seem feminine, and preferring Agustin and Konstantin as the masculine spellings.
I think both names have interesting histories.
