Help[Opinions] Alcyone and Halcyone
(answer as many of these questions as you want)
-WDYT? Do you like one better than the other or have different associations?
-Is it actually a correct variant to use a "s" sound for the C in English, or is it supposed to sound like "k" because it's Greek? Is the Y ever like "ee" or is it always "ai"? The BtN and Wikipedia for Alcyone both say ai or ie, but the word halcyon has a "see" sound.
-Is the meaning of Halcyone really "sea kingfisher" since it's a combination of kingfisher and salt/sea?
-What about Alkyone and Halkyone?
-Have you ever met one (Alcyone, Alkyone, Halcyone, or Halkyone)?
-If you had to be named one of these variants, what nickname would you have?
-Combos with any of the variants as a first or middle name?
