Belle Adriana has a melodic charm to it, it's very nice.
I absolutely detest Phyllis, so seeing Phyllida, which is somewhat in the ballpark, gave me an initial sour reaction at first glance. And yet...it looks and sounds really good with Joan, I can't lie. I consider Phyllida much more tolerable than Phyllis.
Mathias never appealed to me much, but Joel seems to elevate it. Very complimentary.
