Help[Opinions] Re: Godelieve
in reply to a message by Llewella
Gott in himmel -- that's a really great name. Wow! I've never heard of it before. It's elegant and quirky at the same time. Mesmerizing.
Godelieve Sabine
Godelieve Alix (Eleanor of Aqu.'s dd so it's French, but also German form of Alice)(= cross over just like Godelieve)
Godelieve Isabeau
Godelieve Aurore
Godelieve Hannelore
Godelieve Melusine
Godelieve Anais
Godelieve Marion
Godelieve Odile / Ottilia / Ottilie / Ottoline ("ot-uh-leen")
Godelieve Amalia
Godelieve Edwige
Godelieve Clothilde
Godelieve Fidelma
Godelieve Angharad (that ought to terrify the first grade teacher)
Godelieve Wilhelmina / Wilhelmine
Godelieve Saskia
Godelieve Dagmar
Godelieve Elke
Godelieve Esme
Godelieve Bryony
Godelieve Margot
Godelieve Damaris
Godelieve Concordia
Godelieve Aurelia
Godelieve Hortensia
Godelieve Drusilla
Godelieve Honoria
Godelieve Minerva / Sulis Minerva
Godelieve Scholastica
Godelieve Prunella
A Roman mn like Octavia with Godelieve makes me think of the Roman Empire as it's breaking up and Gaul / Frankish Empire is forming. Great imagery. :-)

You're my hero!
Oh! I will ponder:
Godelieve Hannelore - I've been digging Hannelore lately, but I never thought to combine them!
Godelieve Melusine - I'm interested. Is it mel-oo-SEEN?
Godelieve Odile / Ottilia / Ottilie / Ottoline - I tried out Ottoline, but didn't like how the -ode- and otto- sounds matched up. But Odile or Ottilie? Hmmmm.
Godelieve Edwige - :D Oh, Edwige! How could I have forgotten you? They're so wonderful together! I think this one wins!
Godelieve Clothilde - I tried this one out too, but thought it was a bit too cumbersome on the tongue for my liking.
Godelieve Wilhelmina / Wilhelmine - I never thought of this one either. Nice.
Godelieve Margot - I like the sound, but Godelieve eats Margot in a combo.
Godelieve Concordia - very cool
Godelieve Honoria - has the same problem as Margot
Godelieve Minerva - interesting. It puts kind of a dark twist to it. So do Drusilla and Prunella, really.
Godelieve Scholastica - that is most excellent
Oh wow, I can scarcely contain the namenerdiness. Thanks! :)

Melusine
Thanks! Glad you liked them. I should thank you for the opportunity to let rip. :-)
Melusine I first heard in the German pronunciation, "mel-oo-SEE-neh." One of George I of England's Hanoverian mistresses was named "Ehrengard Melusine von der Schulenburg." Is that great or what?!
But generally it is pronounced, "mel-oo-SEEN," yes. There aren't many German folklore / mythical names. It's good to air her out once and a while. She's usually overshadowed by Lorelei.
