Help[Opinions] Re: Karis.
in reply to a message by Eliora
I don't mind Karis, but it does look a bit like an alternatively-spelled Carys, or something of that nature. It's not trashy, IMO, but it does have a bit of that "Oh, it looks like such-and-such spelled differently" feel for me. Knowing that it's Greek of course clears that up, but still, that's my initial thought about it.
It does remind me, now that I think about it for a second, of kore (ETA that all they have in common is they're short words starting with K and they're Greek, but whatever; that's where the mind goes): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kore_%28sculpture%29 . I remember learning about those in Art History. :-)
Not necessarily a recommendation as a replacement but just throwing a name out there: I used to know a girl named Cherith, which I thought was interesting and quite pretty, in its own way. I had no idea where it came from but Wikipedia says this much: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherith
