[Opinions] Re: Raistlin and Dayllan
in reply to a message by Kestrel78
I'm very wary of using these culty, fantasy-genre names on actual children - not only because I dislike that genre myself ;-) I just can't see a child with one of those names being the cool kid at school. Not that every child has to be the cool kid - not at all. I just mean that if you can't even picture it because of his name, then said name will be a social disadvantage for him, even if it's only mildly. (Incidentally, I think Raistlin sounds like an over-the-counter medicine, sorry!!)
Daylen would be pretty. Both spellings Dayllan and Daelen look awkward to me, though I'd definitely pick Daelen if I had to. Norelle seems made-up and just doesn't have much impact imo. With Daylen not being an established name, I'd prefer the middle name to be something established. Daylen Isabella, Daylen Sophia, Daylen Katerina, Daylen Julianna would all be lovely.
