Help[Opinions] Venetia
What are your feelings of the name Venetia? Though frillier than my I normally go for, I can't help but think it is a glamorous name. I thought it was related to the demonym "Venetian" (from Venice; à la Venetian blinds), but it is actually related to Gwyneth.

It's pretty, but at the same time it's a bit tacky.

I know what you mean. :)

I love it! I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
I'm sure it was influenced by Venice / Venezia.

Huh, I also assumed it was from Venice / Venetian.
It's not really my style but I can see it fitting in with some of my frillier GPs. (They spend most of their time drinking tea in a parlor while wearing too many layers of skirts)

I'm using Venetia for the name of a character in the 19th century. Well, "Venetia" is actually her pseudonym (her real name is something much simpler), nonetheless it strikes me as a quite Victorian name. I kind of like it.
Curiously enough, though, I have never met a real-life Venetia... but I've met or heard of at least three women named Veneta (vuh-NEE-tuh). I think that variant was more common in the first decades of the 20th century (particularly the 1930s).

I like it in theory. It's very pretty, but has a sense of history, and a good deal of imagery behind it. I personally much prefer Venezia, because I'm not a fan of names ending in a 'sha' sound, but it's nice.
