HelpRe: Fay, Flora & Nigella
in reply to a message by iris
Wow, I'm right there with you.
Fay is gorgeous. I love that it's a word (and an unusual, old-fashioned one at that). The sound is lovely. Not enough names end with a strong A sound (I'm also super fond of Ray).
I remember the first time I saw Flora on a little girl. I fell in love with it immediately. But now it seems a bit weak, a bit flim-flam, and it's overwhelmed by the "floor" element.
Nigella is curious. I'm inclined to distrust it because it's celebrity-associated (when I associate names with celebrities they seem to get old the minute the celebrity's fame dies down). I can't decide whether I like it's overwhelming Britishness. It's kind of charming though. I think it would make a good middle name, for now. The flow of Fay Nigella is a bit off, but I think that combo's pretty gorgeous.
