Help[Opinions] Neroli
What do you think of this word as a name? http://www.behindthename.com/name/neroli/submitted
I thought it look exotic but was rather bit harsh, until I found out it's pronounced like "NERRA-lee" or "NEER-ah-lee" and not "nur-OH-lee" like I first thought. Also, its etymology is taken from a princess of Nerola, Anne Marie Orsini, who popularized the orange-blossom fragrance. Nerola is possibly from a root word meaning "strong, brave". That's a nice bonus!
I am totally enamored with the idea of this word being a name. It is so beautifully evocative of strong-willed princesses, flowers, seduction, and love spells.
New name crush! Haven't had one of those in a long time!
