[Opinions] Re: Junia, Beata or Séfora?
in reply to a message by lucia bombon
Oh, Junia! I love it so. I love its history and how it just sort of bounces off the tongue. It's beautiful with Iris and Alba, too.
Popularity doesn't bother me. It's one of my least important considerations in picking a name, and I personally think a lot of people obsess too much over it. In other words, I'd have no qualms over giving one child a name that is at a drastically different popularity level than my other children. That said, it is important to me that my kids' names are harmonious together and, well, equal, for lack of a better word. So, I don't care about popularity, but I wouldn't pick a name that's drastically harder to live with, harder to pronounce, of jarringly different origin, extremely strange when the others are familiar, and so on. I definitely wouldn't use Tzipporah or Edit with Mia or Natalia for that reason. I could maybe go either way on Faustina, but I'm leaning toward 'no' on that one, too. With daughters named Mia and Natalia, I might have names such as Susana, Louisa, Elettra, and Ginevra on my list.
My favorite boy set is Edmund Bruno, Marius Caspar, and Leopold András.
