HelpRe: Phineas and Cillian
in reply to a message by Martha
I'd be happy to see either of them used, but I'm not sure how well I can explain why. They both have a guy-who-maybe-wears-corduroy vibe?
Cillian seems more rhythmic and happy-go-lucky (and Irish). Phineas seems softer yet sharper or more absentminded professor.
Cillian to me is kinda like Damien, Ronan, Diarmuid, Oscar, Eoghan, Ciaran, Gili, Cassian.
Phineas to me is kinda like Timaeus, Percival, Cedric, Silas, Orion, Thaddeus, Leonidas, Sebastian.
I'd maybe put them both in a group with Julian and Xavier, but they're more off-beat than those.
Also, I just like saying them. I have a preference for 3-syllable names, so that's part of it. I prefer Phineas without a NN, but I'm not bothered by Finn.
