[Opinions] Re: Middle names for Anna
in reply to a message by selig
Hi !!!!I dislike:@Anna Megaera I'm Italian and 'megera' is a current way to say "an unpleasant woman" as you can read in the description.
@Anna Medea: Medea was a mad and evil person in the myth.
@Anna Desdemona: Desdemona means "unfortunate fate".
@Anna Evadne: I simply dislike Evadne. I have no links with this name.
@Anna Iphigenia: the sound is unpleasant, Iphigenia's story is sad and her name is too over the top in 2019 in my opinion (but it is better than Megaera, Desdemona, Medea and Evadne).My favourites are:
*Anna Cordelia
*Anna Minerva
*Anna Paloma
*Anna Zenobia
*Anna Zipporah (but I prefer it spelled Tzippora)I also like
Anna Tinuviel
Anna Cybele
Anna Galadriel
Anna Demetra
Anna Ophelia
Anna Persephone
Anna Lavinia Anna Paloma & Anna Cordelia are the best combos here in my opinion.I love many of these names but I prefer to see them as first names instead of be covered by the 'so neutral' Anna.Personal Name Lists https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/125456

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I don't mind tragic associations, like Desdemona, Iphigenia, and also Ophelia have, but it's good to know where other people stand. I hadn't considered the meaning of Megaera in other languages so thank you for bringing it to my attention.
