[Opinions] Re: Aneirin
I can't say I like either. Aneirin looks and sounds like the name of a medication to me--like, "Oh, yeah, I stopped taking Prozac because I was having really bad side effects. I'm on 50 mg of Aneirin, though, and that's working out." Plus, the first thing I saw when I read the name was "aneurysm." Aneira doesn't really do it for me either.And another thing it sounds like to me--because my little sister is silly, this name sounds exactly like the way she would say "an iron." The rest of us say "EYE-urn" for iron, but she says "EYE-ruhn."I do like the nickname Nye, though. It's reminiscent of childhood for me--I grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, like every other American child of the 90s, heh. :DOf your combos, I think I like Aneirin Marcus and Aneirin Theodore best.Array

I agree. I don't like the sound of the name at all. "It's reminiscent of childhood for me--I grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, like every other American child of the 90s, heh. :D"I met Bill Nye last spring and had lunch with him. He's a funny guy, but not at all like I expected him to be. His jokes were quite risque. ;0)

I agree...I agree that Aneirin looks like a type of medication. Scary...I don't like Nye as a nickname though. This name just doesn't do it for me.I think Aneirin Marcus is best though.Ceevie
