[Opinions] Re: Favourite names
in reply to a message by Felie
New favourites:
1. Celeste - it's lovely and uncommon. 7/10
2. Ester - I prefer Esther but the original Hebrew spelling is also nice. 7/10
3. Lucilla - I prefer Lucille and Lucia. 5/10
4. Margherita - I prefer Margarita (BTW, is Margarita used in Italy?) and Marguerite, though I adore the nn Rita. 5/10
5. Fiammetta - too much. Fiamma is better than the diminutive. 4/10
6. Diletta - it has a dated sound and meaning and sounds like a brand name. 2/10
Old favourites:
1. Aurora - nice sound and meaning, trendy but not very popular and timeless, a nature name, and overall nice. 10/10
2. Irene - beautiful meaning, fits any age. 8/10
3. Ginevra - it's nice, a down-to-earth Guinevere, but I wouldn't use it since ginebra is the Spanish word for "gin". 7/10
4. Beatrice - prefer Beatrix and Beatriz. 6/10
