[Opinions] Taliesin
What do you think of Taliesin? With the middle name Dylan and the surname Evans? I really like it as it's got a lot of history behind it and a lovely meaning. I think Tally would make a cute nickname for a little boy too. ^^ Pronounced tal-ee-ES-in or tally-ESIN (those are the pronounciations I hear most often) by the way as I know that's going to be an issue.

I love the sound of Tal-yes-en, but your prns seem too much to me. Taliesin Dylan does not have a good flow at all, though. Tally is a sort of cute NN, but I wouldn't use it.
Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

WAY too many N's in Taliesin Dylan Evans. Just--no. Too many N's. I live in Wisconsin, and so I immediately think of Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's home. It's a gorgeous place, and it's pronunced tal-YES-in (tal sounds like Al) around here. Tal-ee-ES-in and tally-ES-in sound overly drawn out to me.I really like Taliesin with the nn Tal (once again, rhyming with Al). I probably wouldn't use it, but I have good associations with it, and I think it's very handsome.Array

I think Taliesin is a very refreshing name! I do like the nn Tally but spelled Tali. Also, I think that Taliesin Dylan Evans has too much "n" in it. You might try changing the middle name.

That's the name, and nickname of one of the band members of a band called The Lucksmiths.
but the nickname is spelled Tali.
I quite like the name.
I'm not so crazy about Dylan.

Well, as I have mentioned before, I LOVE Taliesin. I prefer the pron. tal-ee-ES-in, but I pron. with a mix of that and tal-YES-in, if you know what I mean.Taliesin Dylan Evans is nice, I like both names on their own, but the flow isn't too good imo.
My favourite Taliesin combo is Taliesin Drystan Leaf, maybe a bit long for some people, but I like it!
I really like the nn Tally to, spelt like that or just Tali.
