Help[Opinions] Brilliana and Rhodes
I found Brilliana here: http://snipurl.com/clnl.
Brilliana Conway seems like a good namesake, and the name itself struck me in a good way. I like the sound, and the presumed meaning "brilliant". It does seem a little fanciful and a bit frilly, but I don't mind that today. I pronounce it BRIL-lee-an-ah.
Wdyt of Rhodes for a boy? It means "rose", from Greek rhodon . It's a unisex name, but with so many feminine names meaning "rose", I figure boys at least deserve Rhodes to themselves. (There's also Cecil Rhodes, founder of Rhodesia (which is now Zimbabwe), although in his case Rhodes was his surname. And also see the mythological Rhode on Wikipedia: http://snipurl.com/clox.) How would you pronounce Rhodes? Personally, I say it simply like the word "roads", with a silent D.
