[Opinions] Re: Marcella
in reply to a message by Clytemnestra
Marcella is terrific. Someone had a thread below about Regina and it has the same appeal to me: an overlooked gem; when you hear it on a live person it suddenly sparkles with freshness.
I wouldn't worry about it becoming the next Emma or Isabella. There are so many other names waiting in the wings. Angelina Jolie's mother (and dd's mn) is Marchelline (sp?) so Marceline might get a little attention. But I still wouldn't worry about it.
I love that Julian and Marcella both make me think of ancient Rome. Subtle. I like Mary Ellen's naming style a lot. :-)
By the way, I love Marlena, but only if it's pronounced, "mar-LAY-nuh."
