Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Astrophelia?(m)
in reply to a message by Dragon_Clarinet
1. I do not think you should just submit names you make up. This is an etymology site, not a "What Dragon_Clarinet Thinks Should Be A Name" site.
2. I'd prefer Astrophela (as-trow-fell-uh), and further, I'd keep it Astrophel for a boy.
3. I'd automatically prn it az-trow-feel-ya. [Like Astro-Ophelia]

Ditto this. Esp #1.
Though you (Dragon Clarinet) picked my brain, because I've been idly reflecting on the idea of a feminine form of Astrophel- Astrophela? Astrophilia, because -philia means friend? Astrophelle/Astrofelle? Astrophette? Astrophine? Not because I wanted to use one but just because the idea of there being one popped into my head.
But yeah. Submitting names you make up is weird and unhelpful. I know that they may be inaccurate, but I do like to learn etymology from the submitted names, because otherwise, what's the point?
