Help[Opinions] Re: Magdalene and Raphael
in reply to a message by Siri
Love them both.
Sure, they do exude a Catholic air, but not in a bad way. I prefer to look at them as rich with history and romance. There are plenty of names I associate with the Catholic church, but I love them for other reasons. These two fall into that catagory for me.
Magdalene Cecilia -- Cecilia always seems fussy to me. Magdalene Celia / Celeste is more stream-lined.
Judith Helen -- Lovely combination. Warm and earthy Judith matches beautifully with Magdalene, especially with the nn Magda. Judith and Magda have a sort of Eastern European / Hungarian thing going on in my mind right now. I don't know why since Judith isn't really European.
Raphael Christian -- This one does seem to be a bit "in your face" religious. But I usually get that vibe from the name Christian anyway.
Xavier Allan -- Love Xavier. Allan doesn't match it at all. It feels more like a family name that you had to tag on somewhere. Xavier Ambrose, Xavier Alban, Xavier Anselm all have more flair for me.
(Disclosure: I was raised Catholic, but don't practice anymore.)
