[Opinions] Aquareine
Hi !!!I've just found the name Aquareine among the submitted names.It is a fictional name: in the world of Oz Aquareine is the Queen of Mermaids.Despite this link.. Aquareine comes from Latin Aqua meaning "water" and French reine meaning "queen".I didn't read the book but I love the sound of Aquareine and its meaning!

Now that I know the second part is from "reine" I know the last syllable is pronounced like "Rain".But before I opened the post I was thinking "Aqua-reen", rhyming with Irene or serene. I'm afraid a real person with the name would have to be constantly correcting the pronunciation.

It's odd and does seem like a fantasy character. I suppose I'm reminded of Aquaman.It sounds like Aquamarine to me. I think I'd just go with that. Water and blue already have enough strength symbolism for me, so the queen meaning seems like overkill.
