Help[Opinions] Re: Marceline, Evangeline, and Selene
in reply to a message by sprout
Marceline feels like it is trying to marry two different elements and, instead of merging peacefully, the two parts are incongruous. Marcel sounds like an elegant fighter with lace cuffs and a rapier. "-line" reminds me of Madeline and the cute little boarding school girls all in a row. Somehow, Marceline doesn't sound like a cute kid or a well dressed swordswoman instead it combines the worst bits and comes out as a combative kid who throws crayons.
Evangeline sounds elegant and the V gives it an edge of spice. I associate it with the color red, but I can imagine it on a variety of people. It is my favorite of the three.
Selene sounds grown up and svelte but also hard to pin down. It sounds like a sophisticated woman who lacks ties to others - lovely but aloof. I pronounce it seh-LEEN.
Marceline, Silas, and Cordelia
Evangeline, Arthur, and Beatrix
Selene, Demetri, and Clio
