Re: Viola, March, and India
in reply to a message by Ottilie
1. Viola Bronwen Lark. I like Viola and Bronwen. I'm not normally a fan of names like Lark but in a second mn spot it's fine. I like Viola Nell Francoise too. Viola Bronwen Nell would be good.
2. March is fine as a second middle name. It's a surname as well as a month so doesn't seem odd to me to use it in that spot. Although I wouldn't use Ezra or Gideon the combo flows well.
3. I love the name India and if I had a daughter right now, it's what I'd use. Place names don't bother me. People on BTN often bring up the colonial connotations but I don't see it myself. I don't think of the country India in that way (I might have done if it was still 1897 or even 1945) but India has been independent for 60 years. Maybe that's just me though.

Do you not think Bronwen Nell runs together a little too much?
Interesting thoughts on India, you're swaying me, though it wasn't going to take much :P

Normally, I don't like combos where the last letter is the same as the next one but Bronwen Nell doesn't bother me so I think it could work.
