Meital
I've come across Meital a few times and never really gave it much thought. Today, however, I was looking over some old case study for my psychology class and one of the researchers was named Meital and, for some reason, I had an epiphany. I'm totally infatuated with it now--I love its sound, it's meaning...plus I think it would make a great mn in almost any combo. It's an iamb like all the other fillers (Nicole, Elise, Marie, et al.) so it sounds just as good without being cliché.Wdyt? Like it? Love it? Hate it?
Also, if you have any combo suggestions for a fn or mn (with names from my PNL or otherwise) that would be awesome!ETA: It's pronounced may-TAL.

I really like it, and it's got a lovely meaning. I'm a bit bugged by the similarity with "metal", though.

It's beautiful, but it looks a lot like "metal". Have you considered spelling it Meytal?

Yeah, I agree about it working better as a mn. Thanks--I really like Ophelia Meital, Persephone Meital, and Freja Meital.

I love the sound (and the meaning is gorgeous), but written down I think it looks a bit too much like Metal. That's ok, though, it still sounds lovely. How about Meital Paloma or Meital Juniper?
