Help[Opinions] Re: Thomasin, Cecily and Amice, Felice
in reply to a message by Amandine
I'm surprised there's no entry for Thomasin, wasn't that the name of the main character in The Witch? Maybe the movie wasn't as big a deal as I thought it was. I like Thomasina and Tamsin; Thomasin is a little more awkward somehow, like it's cut off. But I am sure I could get used to it quickly. I think I might mush it into "Thomson" though. Which is kinda cute in a Jazz-age sorta way. And it would drive some people nuts thinking a girl is named Thomson.
Anyway, I like Felice and Amice too. I say the second one as "AH-miss"; not sure if anyone else would, but I like it. I could definitely see people saying it like "AY-miss", mixing it up with Amos just as Wordsmith said. That would be a shame. Maybe since Amos is also a rather rare name it wouldn't happen all that often. Felice is fun - I say it "fuh-LEECE" which is not as pretty as your pronunciation. I like Felice more than Felicia.
I also love Cecily and prefer it vastly to Cecilia, which I find a bit fussy. Cecily is so light and sunny. Maybe people aren't as keen because it sounds like Sicily?
