Help[Opinions] Re: Edward or Harold?
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
Edward. The combo sounds better, and Edward is a better name than Harold ;)
As for the spelling, I dunno... I don't really like Zia/Ziya no matter how you spell it, but what makes it difficult for me to decide is that Ziya looks a lot more arabic than Zia (even though they both are) while Zia looks like a girls name (maybe because I know a girl named Sia?).
And to be perfectly honest, I don't think Zia/Ziya sounds that good with your surname either, but in the end it's up to you guys.

Yeah, I know no one likes Ziya / Zia. If I went with Ziya Harold Nocturne (which is one I put together and then decided I really wanted to use Silver), it'd be my most hated combo [they're the lowest rated names on my list]. Not that that really bothers me. Silver doesn't rank too high either.
I don't really hear an issue with my surname except for the culture clash. Having similar initial sounds doesn't bother me.

Say Ziya + your surname a bit fast...and it sounds a little bit like sea channel. At least to me. Not a huge deal, though.

I'm not hearing it no matter how many times I say it, might be a difference in accent. But if other people hear it, yeah, no big deal. Nothing wrong with sea channels.
