Help[Opinions] Re: Adamina and Jamesina
in reply to a message by PantheraVirgo
I love Adamina! I think it's seriously charming and has the potential for great nicknames.
I'm not sure about Jamesina. With most feminizations of masculine names, I stop "seeing" the masculine name that started it all. I don't think "Joseph" when I see or hear Josephine, for example. Even rare names like Adamina and Thomasina don't scream "Adam and Thomas" to me. With Jamesina, though, all I see and hear is James with -ee-na tacked on the end. It's awkward and clunky and still feels weirdly masculine.
