[Opinions] Ciaratrix?
Had a dream about this name, so what are your thoughts on it? Is it useable or not? How would you pronounce it? An alternative spellings you like better? Nickname ideas?

I'd pronounce it KEER-a-trix because I think that sounds pretty cool. Fun to say!Don't know if it's usable on a real person because it seems pretty contrived.

It sounds cool, but I don't think it's usable. Makes me think of cicatrix, a kind of scar.
I would pronounce it kee-ar-a-TRIX or see-ar-a-TRIX.

It reminds me a lot of Creatrix, which I was thinking about as a name last night (sims). Were you thinking about the divine feminine?

Sounds like an animal's scientific name.

It sounds like the name of a drug peddled on TV for arthritis or something. I don't think its usable.

It looks like the name of a medicine to me (if I saw it in the subject of an email, I'd think it was spam), so I'm leaning towards it not being usable.My first guess for pronunciation would be kee-AR-ah-Tricks.

I'd say kee-AR-a-trix or see-AR-a-trix. I also thought of see-AIR-a-trix just because I know a Ciara pronounced "Sierra", but that's unlikely. Nicknames: Ciara, Cia, Trix, Trixie

No. Absolutely not. I would pronounce it like the name Ciara + "trix" like in Bellatrix.

If Ciara is approximately prounced keera, then Ciaratrix makes me think of the word curatrix (term for a female curator). Sounds almost indistinguishable, to me, if I say it fast. Interesting.Otherwise it looks like a smush with Beatrix and Ciara, but I don't think that works because the suffix -rix is for one who does it, like suffix -or / -er, and it's too much that way ... like smushing Hunter and Aidan to make Aidanter.It's weird but not less usable than, say, Condoleezza.
Cat could be a nick for it.

This definitely sounds like a medicine! Reminds me of Cialis I think. I would pronounce it see-AH-ra-trix upon seeing it. Trixie could be a nickname, or just Ciara. Cici.
