Help[Opinions] Re: Cyan
in reply to a message by Elinor
Cyan has a nice sound (I pronunce it sy-ANN, too), but I dislike the colour--so I wouldn't use it, personally. It's fine for someone else.
Alba~ I like it, and also Albina and Alberta. Of the three, Alberta's my favourite (because of Alberta Hunter), but Alba's a close second.
Emmanuelle~ It's one I can't get behind--which is weird, because I like Emmanuel for a boy. This just sounds soap opera-y to me.
Fabiana~ I have the sinking feeling that it's still too similar (in the US, at least) to Fabio for usage. But I think it's pretty nice all the same. I like Fabia better, which is even worse!
Merryn~ I can only picture Seda's kid. And since I didn't have the best of opinions on Seda, I don't like this at all. Merit, Maren, Meryl, Merle, and Mariel all sound nicer to my ears.
Tessa~ I rather like it, but I don't think I'd ever be able to use it. See, my mother's a Teresa, and she hates pretty much every diminuitive form of the name! :D
Viviana~ I dislike this--it's horribly frou-frou in a staid way, like Juliana's bitchy older cousin.
Darcy~ Very nice, but not quite enough for me personally.
Hosea~ About the equivalent of naming a girl Alleluia, I think. Extremely religious sounding to me--and I am quite religious, so that's saying something!
Ronan~ A ronin, in Japan, was a masterless samurai. Now, it refers to people who've failed university or high school entrance exams. Despite the fact that they sound slightly different, that's all I can think of.
Silas~ I've been trying to warm up to this for six years, and it still just sounds like "silo" to me.
Trueman~ As Truman, I like it. But if I used it, I think that my sisters would figure it was after Mr. Capote! :D I don't like Trueman so much; the E looks terribly superfluous to me.

No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope

I'd like to leave the world as a better place.
