leia - my wife will not allow a star wars name
aphrodyte - it's a little over the top

I was thinking Selene Dion for some reason...

Though I thought the high inquisitor and heart of valmar in grandia 2 was called Selene.

what reasons should i give? my reasons are good enough for me.
(are people taking this a little seriously, i mean i am only naming my child using complete strangers ideas)

no certain letters?too many vowels? ur right the first thingi think of in a name is the number of vowels.

Phoebe?

pronounced Fee-bee

I have a really cute 4 year old cousin named Phoebe... I'm sure she would be honored to have your little girl named after her :wink:

No certain letters because some letters in the English language is not in the Welsh language.

Simonov · Post by **Simonov** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 4:39 pm

my suggestion, (i have a friend with this name and think it's beautiful):

Marzanna, Morana or Morena is a Slavic goddess. Her exact function is unclear. She is most often believed to be a Goddess of harvest and witchcraft. She is described as a beautiful black-haired girl with extremely pale complexion.

In some medieval Christian sources such as the Mater Verborum she is compared to Hecate.

Her relationship to Mara, Goddess of death, is unclear; some sources equate the two.

In late medieval sources she becomes a Goddess of winter as well as death. Her name is based on the Slavic root mor, used in words such as "peril", "nightmare", "death" and "plague".

In mythology of East Slavs she is a goddess of fertility and protector of all female.

I am so touched to see that my contribution got onto the shortlist! In spite of its drawbacks...

(shudders at the memory of one of Daffyd's* outfits as he spoke to Myfanwy**)

* Spelling?

** Spelling?

Stopper · Post by **Stopper** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:19 pm

Oh, and though I don't want to push my suggestion too hard, I believe it has the lowest ratio of vowels-to-consonants of all the names on the shortlist. It's the Welshest name on there, surely!

don't you find words that are spelled completely differently to the way they are pronounced a little strange.
bucket is not pronounced bouquet after all.
