Help[Opinions] Re: Georgia and Anthea
in reply to a message by LittleWolf
I love Georgia! It’s on my shortlist as well, I just can’t ever get SO on board. I have a distant cousin with a 2-year-old named Georgia, so I can definitely see it on a child. I prefer Georgia Colleen of those combos, though I loathe the name Colleen, because it flows better.
I don’t like Anthea. It seems like it’s trying to be the word “anthem”, or that it’s a misspelled word entirely. I like Anthea Florence better - Florence seems more substantial and is pretty. I love Thea! Maybe Althea? Since you want to honor the name Anthony, you could also consider Antonia or Antoinette as a FN, with a MN that could provide the NN Thea (Althea, Amalthea, Athena, Theodora / Theodosia, Theophania, Dorothea, Theresa, Timothea, Xanthia). Or use one of the boy names to honor Anthony.
Peter is okay. It’s familiar but not over used. Firenze seems “cool”, except it seems more feminine to me. Also, how would it be pronounced? I’m struggling between it being three syllables or two. I’d like it better if it’s two syllables, and it seems more masculine with that pronunciation to me. I don’t love Lorcan, but it’s okay.

1. Colleen is not my absolute fave but I like the flow and DH likes that it is my middle name because George is his middle name (thats not why we picked Georgia its just always been on my list).
2. Antonia is a name we also like but the name would most likely be Antonia Phoenix or Antonia Mei with the nn Annie.
3. Firenze is the Italian name for the city of Florence, pronounced Fi‧rèn‧ze
