Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Yildiz?
in reply to a message by Dragon_Clarinet (nsi)
I'm glad you gave us the background on Yildiz. I wouldn't have liked it otherwise. That "-diz" on the end is spunky and intriguing. It's very attractive, overall. But I'd keep it for a character, or in the mn position.
Yildiz actually makes me think more of a Dark Age / Barbarian / Gothic woman. I don't know why. I think Adelheidis is where that's coming from. Or perhaps Yseult. I love old Germanic / Frankish names, so the fact that Yildiz has that vibe for me is a plus.
I have a name you might be interested in. I went to school with an American woman with (Spain) Spanish connections. Her name was Iziar, which she pronounced as "EE-thee-ar." (soft "th" as in thistle) She told me the etymology / background of the name, but I've forgotten. (Does anyone else know?) It would be interesting if it were related to Basque Izar, meaning "star." :-)
