Help[Opinions] Re: Lavinia (and others)
in reply to a message by kvpp88
I really like Lavinia. It's quite unusual, but she could always go by Liv if she wanted to blend it.
Benedetta and Leocadia are waaaaay over-the-top. I like Magdalene (prefer Magdalen, though), but am not really sure how to feel about that pronunciation. I'd say MAG-duh-leen (Magdalen would be MAG-duh-lehn, which I like better).
I live in Northern California where people say "hella" all the time, so Helle is laughable as a name to me.

When I saw Helle, I thought of one of Gwen Stefani's songs, "I'm feelin' hella good, so let's just keep on dancin'". I can't see it as a name, either.
I used to know a Leocadia when she was five. She's seven or eight now, so I can see it being used.
Benedetta looks like it should be Bernedetta. Magdalene is fine, too.
Lavinia might be too Edwardian for most, but I'd use it.
