Help[Opinions] Re: Iseppa
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine !!
Thank you for the long answer!!
Yes I think that Joséphine could work in Italy because it is more elegant than Jessica or Nicole. French names are not a surprise although they are not so used. We are cousin isn't it? ^^
Lily: simple, short, no trouble with the pronounciation.
I think that the link with the flower is immediate as we have Lilia and also the word lilium for the genus of flower (that in Italian is "giglio" grammatically masculine and a rare masculine name). We also have the feminine variant of Giglio that is Gigliola (I know that the sound gl is so difficult to pronounce). I personally know both a Giglio (he was around 70-80 when I was a child) and a Gigliola (around 55-60 now).
Lily could seems a short form of something (like Lili is) but I think that the new generation has not this wrong link as we see American films everyday.
Personally I think that my generation (under 30) think about Lily Evans from Harry Potter books and films. There aren't so many famous Lilys (So strange isn't it?) and Harry Potter is a mark of a generation and still continue to be it. In my opinion it is a wonderful link.
Lily seems also very clean and elegant and also feminine so I think it would not be tacky at all.
As you said I love talking with you (Infact you can see how long are always my answers!! lol).
