HelpRe: Tarquin? (also, out of curiousity,)
in reply to a message by Tippins
I like Tarquin. It's not something I would use, but I think it's an interesting name. As for the combo Tarquin Lapis Lazuli, I'm not a fan. I don't think it has a good flow, for one, and I generally don't like gem names. What about Tarquin Lazuli? That has a better flow, to me.
Cecilia - I love this name, and it is on my PNL. I find it soft, although not princessy like others on the board. I like it a lot.
Joan - I don't like this name. It's very dull, to me, and kind of old and musty.
Minerva - I like this name a lot. I've been thinking about it recently and toying with putting it on my PNL.
Benedict - I like this name, too. I like the Ben- sound, but it's a less common name than Benjamin. Very nice.
Cornelius - I don't really like this one. I think it's the Corn- sound, as I don't like Cornelia either, but I like Cordelia. I guess I just don't like corn. *g*

Really? I like the flow a lot. I like a lot of alliteration (Minerva Maria Cecilia, Cordelia Tippins Thomasina). Splitting it up makes it like half a name for me. Thanks tho.
Yeah I didn't like Cornelius and Cornelia for ages, mostly because of the corn. :P Lately though my view of it has changed from corn-elius to cor-nelius. ...Hm. What a difference.
Thanks!

It's not the alliteration - I have a hard time saying Tarquin Lapis. It doesn't fit together very well, in my opinion. I think Lapis Lazuli is fine together, if not my style. I'd like the flow better with a different name, I think.

Hm! That is odd that Lazuli should be easier than Lapis. :P
I would be interested in suggestions for other FNs for Lapis Lazuli! I have a hard time thinking of them.

Another first name - maybe something like Octavian? Oh, or what about Vespasian, since someone mentioned that yesterday? I feel like it needs to be a more over-the-top style name, as Matthew Lapis Lazuli would just look odd. Maybe Constantine? Ignatius? Greek and Roman inspired names seem to work with the vibe.
