[Opinions] Eseld and Tybalt
I think this is so beautiful. I have discovered that I really like the "eld" sound in feminine names - Eseld, Griselda, Imelda. But I am on an Eseld kick right now. It is so serene and pretty. I prefer it to the Isolde variations.I am fooling around with siblings for it. I have a character named it and she has siblings. I am gravitating towards off-beat, gentle names and am trying to avoid a theme. But I keep gravitating towards bird names.Eseld, Robin (m), Wren (f), Nicholas, - I am avoiding Willa for some reason and also Willow, but they fit well - maybe Sarah - possibly Anton? Pauline would be excellent but her daughter's name is Pauline.
Also tell me what you think of Tybalt.

Eseld is neat. Definitely much better than Isolde.Anton doesn't fit at all IMO. I'm not sure why I think that, but none of the Antons I have known have been "off-beat" or "gentle". Tobias popped into my head. Maybe. Tybalt is good.

Eseld is very nice! Definitely something you don't see every day. It sounds like it could have belonged to a medieval queen.Tybalt has negative associations due to Romeo & Juliet.

Eseld is lovely. I don't particularly enjoy "eld," but if the person who commented on Eseld was right, then it doesn't bother me because the emphasis isn't on it.When I look at that set of names, Augustin popped into my head. I think Sarah fits better than Anton.Tybalt is nice, although I'm partial to Shakespearean names. It's much more to the point than Theobald, and more aesthetically pleasing to me.

Really? I like e-SELD much more than Essled. Essled sounds fat and easily ruffled.I think Sarah fits better too. I was thinking about Augustin because I think Gus fits, but I think Augustine is a bit too long.. we'll see. :PI was thinking that about Theobald too. I'm wary of the Shakespeare character though, I don't like him that much. But there is something so dignified about Tybalt. Tibbult. I dunno.
Thanks :)
