[Opinions] Re: Tarquin? (also, out of curiousity,)
Tarquin is neat. Much cooler than Quinn IMO, I really like the sound too and how it looks. Tarquin Lapis Lazuli seems very fantasy-ish, and for some reason very sparkly. I think it's because I used to confuse Tarquin with Topaz (?) and well, Lapis Lazuli, obviously.Cecilia - used to love this. Now it just sounds whiny and hissy. But it has a great history to it.
Joan - love love love. It reminds me of old Jazz dancers but it obviously ages well. And Joan of Arc is great. Every time I mention Joan someone puts me down about it and I settle with Joanna, which I like but one day it will have to battle it out with Joan.
Minerva - Mysterious, clever, slightly harsh but really pretty. You just have to use it!
Benedict - it's regal and interesting but not for me.
Cornelius - LOL my first thought is Fudge. Then I think how pretentious and unrealistic it is, and let's hope no one calls him corny :) But if I was to ask someone what their middle name was and they told me Cornelius, I would be so excited!

Oh hey! There Quinn is, right there, sitting in Tarquin! I do not think Quinn is cool at all, it seems very silly to me that it's getting attention on this board / irl, but I like it a lot in Tarquin!Tarquin seems kind of medieval to me and therefore a bit fantasyish. It is also sparkly to me because of the t and the a and the qu. I am glad someone else sees it as sparkly :D that is one of my favorite qualities. I love glittery names.Cecilia's always been a hisser to me. :D Ava, Madison, Emily, Isabella, and then nasty old Cecilia ruining everyone's fun. Heeeem.I love Joanna too. Is it on my PNL yet? It should be. It is so simple and pretty. Totes different from Joan though.I always for get how cool JKRowling names her characters! D:
I actually knew a Cornelius who didn't have nicknames. And yeah it is pretentious I wouldn't use it probably, unless I had about fifty kids. But man is it stompy and fun!Thanks!
