Help[Opinions] Re: Identical local twins: Zy'Quez and Zy'Kuez
in reply to a message by blaaarg
Adedayo and David welcome Dorcas Adedamola, the first Dorcas I've ever seen.
I've known of several Dorcases who were born in Africa, and I would guess that Adedayo was, based off of her name. So it seems relatively logical to me--and it makes me sad that the word "dorkus" exists, because I think Dorcas would be pretty otherwise.
Shi'Kira Ophelia gives unto our community the first instance of Ophelia it has seen in many years. She joins JaBrien, Montricia, and Connah.
If only Ophelia was her first name.
Kenya and King welcome Kayla Essence Michelle, who joins brother King David and introduces the concept of the name "Essence."
Whenever I hear of King on a boy, I can only picture the somewhat decrepit, staid, Prufrockish King Westley from It Happened One Night. Blech.
Eli Bransen wins for having the largest quality discrepancy between first and middle name.
What do you mean? As a middle name, Bransen's not bad at all. Reminds me of Bronson, as in the Transcendentalist Bronson Alcott...so both names feel rather 19th-century to me, since Eli = cotton gin.

Yeah, I love Dorcas, and I thought Adedamola was really strange until I read her parents' names. I thought she was an interesting addition to her sibset, because the rest of them sound like Dragonball-Z characters to me, while Dorcas is pretty, old-fasihoned, and namey. And I an interesting way to incorporate her mother's name into hers.
About Bransen: I hate the Br, the Bran, the short a, the sen as opposed to the son, the son in the first place- that is, every aspect of it, phonetically. I hate every aspect of Bronson as well, but not as much as I hate Bransen. But I love the long vowels and simplicity in Eli.
