Help[Opinions] Re: Aglaia
in reply to a message by g.
I love Aglaia! It's dripping with elegance, I think. For what it's worth, when I was in Greece, my Modern Greek teacher used Aglaia as an example of an irredeemably old-fashioned name (i.e., the Greek analogue of Bertha and Gertrude), but that only heightened its appeal for me.

This happened to me with Micheline when I was taking French. The name came up in our textbook and the teacher (straight from Normandy) mentioned how it was considered an old and ugly name by modern French standards - that no one would name their newborn daughter that today. I've loved the name Micheline since I was in like the 7th grade
