Help[Opinions] Re: Magdala.
in reply to a message by Siri
It looks like a strange hybrid of Magdalene and Amidala. I am not sure I like the sound it makes. In my opinion, it doesn't flow well. Perhaps I just need it to sit awhile on my brain before I can make a good decision.

Interesting.
I'm more familiar with Magdala than I am with Magdalene. I think it's because I've come across it in literature a few times while I haven't come across Magdalene.
I'm still not quite sure which name I would use, though. It's between Magdala, Magda, Magdalen, Miriam, and Margaret. Miriam would probably win. :-D

Agree on Miriam
It's a gorgeous name, and while I've got nothing against the Magdalene-derived names, I think it's much nicer. And I've always found Margaret boring and tired.

Off topic, but anyway-
We have a friend, male, named Magdi-it's an Arabic name, he's Egyptian.

Really? The Bible isn't a prominent enough literary source to cement it in your mind? :)
