Help[Opinions] Re: Glykeria
in reply to a message by Sunflower
I’m not a fan of it. It’s Greek so has connotations of sophistication (at least in American English), but the meaning is “sugary” and seems sickly sweet to me. My impression is that it’s both pretentious and insubstantial, at least in the United States. If you’re from Greece or a Greek-speaking community elsewhere, then it wouldn’t be pretentious but would still just kind of seem a bit overly sweet and childish-sounding to me.

I appreciate you listed all what I'd like to avoid in naming: to use pretentious, insubstantial, over sweet and childish-sounding name ))) It's weird, in my perception the name is rather so to say an academical, a name for a serious girl who is doing scientist researches )) may be because it's derived from ancient Greek language ))
