Help[Opinions] Re: Venere / Venus
in reply to a message by Felie
Venus is.....well, I almost said "pretentious" but I really hate that label on a name----it's presumptuous, that's it! It's presumptuous in the US because it's a term for an extremely beautiful woman. I don't know how commonly the term is used these days, but I would think everyone would be familiar with it and think of it when they hear the name. And what if your daughter isn't extremely beautiful? Not that many women are beautiful enough to justify being called a Venus.
Many years ago, when she was a teenager, my older sister started a romantic relationship with a guy she met at the shore, while she was spending a few weeks there. After she left the shore and came home, he would write to her. Once he addressed the envelope to "Venus". "Venus My Sister's Last Name" and then went on with the address on the second line. My mother was embarrassed by what the mailman would have thought. LOL. He meant is as a high compliment. Anyway, an example of the term actually being used.
I don't think I like it based upon the sound, anyway.
I like a lot of girls' names that start with a V, but Venere isn't doing it for me. It sounds like the word "veneer".
