Help[Opinions] Re: Magda vs. Magdalen
in reply to a message by Siri
I think Magda sounds a bit like an old lady. Magdalene would be better. Maybe Magdalena "Lena"? And I don't see Magda as just a nn, I've seen it used many times on its own (but on women my mom's age..).
btw, your styles don't seem to be incredibly different to me. I'd definately say Cecelia and Celeste are the same style (maybe Celestia or Cecile would suit you both?). I really like Neva of your list :)
Maybe Meredith would be something you both could like judging from the lists. Or Teresa, Helena, Livia, Camilla or Lucia?

They're not terribly different
But they're different enough. I'm not sure how to put it. :-/
I really love Livia, Lucia, and Teresa. Helena, Camilla, and Celestia are a bit too frilly. Out of all of these the only one that would be tolerable to him would be Teresa.
As for using the nn Lena...impossible in this area. The Minnesota/North Dakota/Wisconsin area is full of Scandinavian immigrants and Sven/Lena jokes abound. It's too bad, I love Lena.
