[Opinions] Re: Paraskevi
Hi Perrine !!!My first thought was that these names have a similar sound to Piroska, a Hungarian name that means 'red' and is a variant of Prisca. I prefer Paraskevi too! The form with 'e' is too strange and archaic. I dislike the form with 'a' because too similar to Piroska. So I pick the Modern Greek Paraskevi!
Enough close to the original language but not too much.But I would not use It in real Life...I have no ties with it.I love many Ancient Greek names. One of the Modern Greek that I love is Chrysanthi.
