[Opinions] Aspasia
I have loved this Greek name for quite a while. What do you think of Aspasia?

It sounds like a disease to me, unfortunately.

I like the meaning, and it sounds pretty, but it sounds like the name of a medical condition or disorder.

I like the meaning. For me, it would depend on how it's pronounced. It looks pretty, but I could think of a few unflattering pronunciations. How do you say it?

It sounds like a disease or disorder of some sort. ETA: Because I was unconsciously being reminded of speech aphasia. My mom is a nurse so I'm exposed to lots of medical terms.

I haven't heard of it before but I'm adding it to my PNL.

I enjoy it. It is on my PNL and would love to meet one in real life. It is strong, unusual and feminine with a great meaning and good history. It ticks all the boxes really!

I don't like it.
There's a speech disorder called aphasia... and that's what I see with this name.

I like it! The look reminds me of Anastasia, only Greek and not as popular.

There was an Aspasia in my local (Swedish) newspaper some weeks ago! (a day of interesting names, there was a Parisa as well) I had never heard it before, but I immediately liked the sound of it, and it has a nice meaning too. :)
