Help[Opinions] Re: Miradora
in reply to a message by Caitlin žita
I should like it - it's got a lot of things I go for.
I think the problem I have with it is ... because is has "mira" which reminds me of a Spanish word about looking at things, and sounds like "mirror;" AND it has "dora," which reminds of "adore" - plus the fact that it is sort of long and fancy - I get an impression like it's too superficial or vain sounding. Like it's a name that means "loved because she's pretty to look at." Of course it doesn't really mean anything, and if it did I guess it would mean "gift + admiration" or "ocean + gift" ... but that's not the vibe I get.
I'm with Chloe, I prefer Miadora. That sounds more like it'd mean something like "my adored one." And it's tidier, easier to say aloud - two R's in a four syllable name can be awkward.
