[Opinions] Re: Elara
in reply to a message by guru
Ooh, I do not like this name. It has no substance, no oomph that grounds it. As much as I enjoy whimsical names, this one just sounds vapid to me (though I acknowledge and appreciate the mythological significance).I do like Elara Beatriz, Elara Josefina, Elara Lucrezia, and Elara Theodosia. For the record, I despise Liliana and especially Eliana (one of my least favorite names), and Elara is vastly superior to them.

Yes. I would not use it, myself. But, I am trying to find improvements and cater to the crowds of people who find Liliana appealing. There is a certain type of namer who prefers the anemic, vapid names such as Eliana, so it's important to throw them a few new ideas rather than trying to inflict Hildegard upon them right away. Baby steps.

Haha! You're much more practical and diplomatic than I in that sense -- I'm a serious Hildegard-inflicter!
