[Opinions] Re: Discorda

I quite like the name. I do think it is a nice enough name, although probably very gothic now. One of my best friends was named Discordia. I never knew why, but she did change her name to Eris (a translation of the goddess) Disa (her nickname) when she was older, because she found Discordia ugly. I must agree. Eris, which she vehemently argued was the same goddess, only the older Ancient Greek version of a Roman diety, and had in essence the same meaning, is much prettier. Eris is also the name of the solar system's largest dwarf planet. Ohh!
I do like Discorda, but I find a corruption of the name Discordia. It links too obviously to the word 'discord'. As a naturally chaotic, disorganised, passionate and argumentative person, I have never been afraid of discord. I do find Eris a by far prettier name. I find both names extremely cliched.
