Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of these?
in reply to a message by Caprice
Not my style.
Laelia, pronounced LIEleeuh,is unattractive. Lie? Telling a lie? No, thanks.
Linde should be pronounced like Linda, but probably won't be. Endless explanations, and for what? Fine if you're Afrikaans or Dutch; not unless.
Rosewinter could work in a children's or young adult's fantasy novel; too bizarre for real life.
Smaranda ... Emerald is pretty obvious, like Pearl and Ruby, but Smaranda ... "What's your name?" "Smaranda" "Oh ... hello, Miranda". Smaragd or Smarag haven't caught on as names, and I'm not surprised. Rather stay with English for this particular jewel.
