[Opinions] Re: Fidelia
I like it. Fidelia used to be one of my real faves, but I lost interest for a few reasons. It reminds me of Fidel Castro and Vidalia (onions), and I don't really think either of those is something I want. Also, I can't really pronounce it in a way that is completely natural to me and that I also like. With a delicate Spanish accent it sounds great, but that's not how American Midwesterners speak, for the most part - the nice Feee will be Feh, -lia will be -lee-uh, etc. That said, I think it's pretty and sophisticated and classic and lilting and cheerful without being excessively fairy-princess whimsical. Fidelia DaphneThat's all I got.

I really like your description of the name!I never thought of Fidelia Daphne; it's an interesting combo that I'll keep in mind. Yeah, Fidel Castro. That's what (mildly) bothers me, too...
Though there is an adjective "fidel" ("merry", "jolly")in my mother tongue which is sort of more prominent and dominant in this name. At least to me it is.
And I'm not sure if I like that or not.
