Help[Opinions] Re: Domitille
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I would pronounce it differently in French, more like "do-mah-TEE-yuh," with the "yuh" on the end barely pronounced at all. Then again, I make a difference between how I pronounce Camille in French and English, so why not here too?
I reminds me of two things: (1) a dominatrix (yikes!) and (2) a Roman servant adressing her mistress as "domina" ("DO-min-uh")(hooray for HBO's "Rome").
Overall I'm inclined to like it because it is cat-nip to this name nerd's feline: an obscure name unearthed. This is how archeologists must feel when they find something at a dig. I come here are discover Domitille! :-) (I assume it's from Domitilla, yes? I have no patience to click the link before I type.)
All of the nns you list would be delightful. My favorite is Tillie. As for combinations, my favorites would be:
Domitille Agnes
Domitille Helen
Domitille Lucrece (deux oiseau, bien sur*)
* Did I get that right?
