[Opinions] Re: Aloe
in reply to a message by Felie
My first thought that was to say Al-oh. I had been saying it the English way.
If pronounced like that, I like it on a boy.
I don't like the sound of al-oh-eh. I'm not sure why. Maybe it sounds too delicate?
I love nature names. I'd use it on a son before I use it on a daughter. No one where I live would pronounce the E like "eh" unless it were spelled like Aloë or Aloé. In that case, it looks very feminine.
For a boy: Tristan Aloe, Finnian Aloe, Eoghan/Owen Aloe, Aloe Conrí, Aloe Connery, Aloe Winston, Aloe Houston, Aloe Pedro, Aloe Rodrigo
Unisex: Aloe Shannon, Aloe Avery, Aloe Cardamom*, Aloe Jade*
For a girl: Christina Aloé, Britney Aloé, Aloé Miranda, Celia Aloé, Parker Aloé, Aloé Bridget, Cardamom Aloé*, Ginger Aloé*t
* I wouldn't use the really plant-based or double-object combos in real life, because its kind of going overboard. I'd just choose one word-name or object-name, so the kid has at least one normal name to fall back on in case they don't like their other name. : )
Aloe is pretty cool for both genders. Perfect for a fictional character, especially.
