[Opinions] Re: Thomasin, Cecily and Amice, Felice
in reply to a message by Amandine
I love Thomasin. Female names ending in n were more common in the medieval period, and I have seen this spelt Thomeson as well.
Cecily isn’t disappearing, in fact it is charting in England, so I think it’s experiencing a comeback. It’s one of my favourite names.
Amice is ok, but I can see why Alice and Amy are more popular.
There wouldn’t have been an ‘ay’ sound in Felice - the start would have a short E or schwa like the start of Felicity.
