HelpRe: Lada, Anaïs, Cleo, and Leda
in reply to a message by Piccadilly
A Lada is a car. I know a lot of Russian linguists who are connoisseurs of the Lada. Hell, I am. It's still not something I'd name a child.
Anais, Cleo and Leda are all pretty. I think they're a little incomplete feeling. I feel like Cleo had nickname written all through it and Leda is minimalist. Also, the swan-bonking puts me off a little, even if I do kind of love the names Phaedra, Antigone and Pandora and the queen of all squick myths, Pasiphaë, has always struck me as interesting. So who am I to talk? It still feels incomplete.
I think Anais is lovely and elegant. I don't ever feel inclined towards using it or thinking about using it, though.

I had no idea that Lada is a car. Oops.
Thanks!

Yup, we had one when I was a baby:-)
But it is still used as a human name here (I had a high school English teacher named Lada) and no one seems to comment or mention the car connection (I assume it would be even less important in the US).
