[Opinions] Re: Panteleimon
in reply to a message by Amara L.
One of the advantages to being clueless about popculture is not minding the reference to Pullman's Dark Materials series. I've never heard of the series, let alone the character. So my laziness comes in handy yet again.
When I read your post the name Pantaleon kept going through my head. I kept wondering if that was the surname of an annoying guy I went through school with. No, that was slightly different. It wasn't until I read New_Chloe's comment that the penny dropped.
Now I began to see the up-side of Panteleimon / Panteleimona. I have a thing for A and P names together. So Anna Panteleimona starts out with a plus in my book. I'd prefer Anna Pantaleona though. That "m" in Panteleimona is making me think of lemons. Anna Pantaleona looks cleaner to my eyes.
The "pant" thing isn't bothering me. It makes me think of the Parthenon, which makes little sense. But it helps me keep it Greek and cool.
Yes. Anna Pantaleona (assuming that's a legit form of Pantaleon) is really growing on me.
Thanks for the new names on my long list. :-)
