[Opinions] Re: Tanaquil
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
What I dislike about it is the excess similarity to the word "tranquil" (which is exactly what makes -quil names appealing for the marketing of soothing medications). The spelling makes it too easy to misread as Tranquil, and even makes it seem like an adjective, especially in combos with names that are nouns.
It is a cool name though... said out loud as a name, with TAHN as the first syllable rather than TAN, the association with tranquil fades. I'd like it spelled another way. Thanacuil wouldn't be bad IMO.
- mirfak
