[Opinions] Re: February
in reply to a message by Tisiphone
January - I like it. It's strong without being harsh and it bears the promises of a new year.
February - doesn't sound as good in your mouth as January. Kind of difficult to pronounce. Also makes me think of the word "feverish" (like many children will be in February...).
March - ugh, no. Way too harsh.
April - sweet and spirited.
May - nah. Since it's also a verb, it's not even good in combos. Anna May. Yes, Anna may what?
(The Swedish equivalent Maj is the only month name commonly given as a name in Sweden, although for the moment Maja is much more popular.)
June - OK, but a bit boring and old. The Swedish variant Juni has gained some popularity recently.
July - I prefer name forms like Julie and Julia. July is too close to "you lie".
August - since it's exclusively male in Swedish (the month is Augusti), I think this name sounds weird on females.
September - in theory it's nice, but all I can think of is September 11th.
October - a bit too harsh.
November - although November is the most BORING, GREY, DEPRESSING, RAINY month in my part of Sweden, I do like the combo November Snow. Wouldn't use it for real, though.
December - I like this, too. December Glow and December Rose are beautiful combos. But a bit too weird for a real person, perhaps.
