Help[Opinions] Re: Cora and Combos
in reply to a message by Starving Artist
Amarilla Florence- bit over the top? I think "Floral Amaryllis" which is just too bloom-y, at least for my tastes. Marilla Florence tones it done a little, and you still get Rilla! Too "Anne of Green Gables," though perhaps.
Camellia Susan- I really really want to like this, but all I see is Camel-ia. That aside, Camellia Susan is lovely.
Constance Isolde- your first two are so flowery, the steel in this one is quite the contrast. I like it very much, but with names like these it would be good to have more nickname potential, I think.
Felicity Jane- predictable upper-middle class English name, from the 70s to the present. Seems a little out of place with the other imaginative choices, but it's perfectly nice.
Lavender Frances- hmm, very pretty. I like Lavender from the flowers, but I do associate the scent with octagenarians- nevermind the unfortunate nn of Lav...
Meredith Paget- with all her highly feminine sisters, this one seems a bit unisex. Meredith Petra?
Ravenna Acacia- too many As, and I don't really like placenames-as-fns.
Octavia Maris- you've heard of the seven seas, now meet the eighth! Octavia Mary's the only "Mary" name I've like in years, though.
June Alys is pretty, but as the second shortest name here is Constance Isolde, it seems massively out of place (pardon the irony). Having said that, it really is a lovely name-probably my favourite-just might do better with a sister like Iris Maud than Ravenna Acacia :)
I took a quick peek at your PNL, and these Cora names are the result:
Cora Beatrix
Cora Evelyn
Cora Margaret
Cora Josephine
Cora Frances
Cora Susanne
Cora Blythe ;)
