HelpRe: Amaryllis
in reply to a message by Dwarf Star
I once met a Catholic priest who was Father Hyacinth Someone, can't recall the ln. Which distorts my impression of the name! I certainly wouldn't use it unless, like the priest presumably, there is a very good reason.
Amaryllis doesn't seem problematic to me. It's a well enough known flower. And it contains Mary, which might be nice for nn purposes. I once read a short story in which a girl with the nn Millie was suspected of being an Amaryllis by a teacher at her new school, but she was able to explain that she was actually Camilla!
Amaryllis Winifred sounds good to me.
