[Opinions] Re: Paris, Ireland & Holland
in reply to a message by Raya
Paris g.
Second choice - Holland b.
after that
Holland g
Ireland g
Ireland b
Paris b (hate it)
Paris g is familiar to me (I've met a couple of them) and I kinda like it.
Holland just sounds so first-namey, I don't love the land thing but it seems easy to accept as a person's name. Sounds like Harlan and Holly.
Ireland isn't quite so first-namey imo. It's a pretty word, it just sounds a lot more nation-ish to me than Holland. It does remind of Irulan (eer-oo-lahn) from Dune, so some slight appeal there. When I see Irelynn, though, it puts me off Ireland even more.
