Help[Opinions] Re: Venessa
in reply to a message by InVain34
It's alright. I like Venus more than Vanessa, and Venessa would be in-between them.
Of course people would have to be taught a "new" name. and some would get uptight over it not being a "real name," but whatever, I'm not one of them. It's only one letter changed from Vanessa. I should say, though - my name's like that too, one letter off from a recognized name - and honestly I've never been happy about that.
Except in the name Venus, the veen sound would make me think of the word venal. But I would say Ven-essa, ven as in convention. I don't care for Vanessa because it reminds me of the word vanity, and of the surname Van Ness. But Venessa doesn't have those issues.
I like Venera (ven-AIR-a basically), also, which refers to Venus. Of course that reminds everyone of venereal disease, so I wouldn't put it on a firstname list.
