Help[Opinions] Some Esperanto Names
Hi !!!
When I joined BtN I was very surprised to see the category Esperanto in the main database. Esperanto was an artificial language invented over a century ago The aim was to unify European languages but as far as I know this language is totally academic.
Who has created these names? Who would use them? Are they used? Really? Or they are only listed in many essays?
WDYTO these names?
Masculine
Jozefo
Aleksandro
Miĥaelo
Paŭlo
Vilhelmo
Miĉjo
Aleĉjo
Ludoviko
Petro
Koralo
Feminine
Miela
Esperanta
Adorinda
Orabela
Dezirinda
Kandaja
Amika
Aminda
That's strange: I like all the feminine names and none of the masculine ones.
ETA Sorry! I realized that Koralo is masculine. Great name.

Aminda and Amika are kind of fun and spunky, but being Esperanto they feel kind of constructed and fake.
I like Esperanta a little bit, waaay prefer Esperanza.
I absolutely hate Orabela and Adorinda, they are absolute candy floss pink fluff to an annoying degree.
I think the issue is the nature of Esperanto. These are constructed names for a constructed language, a language which let's be honest isn't entirely a real, living language, it's one that was made. Everything feels a bit artificial, a bit contrived and plastic.
That said, I've always thought Vespera was gorgeous.

Someone told me, that Esperanto is not just academic, people write in it, it changes, it's on Wikipedia, etc...
I hope I'm not messing things up.
I really want to learn it some day.
I've got Ĉiela, Miela & Esperanta on my PNL. These names are exquisite, IMO. (Aleksandro, Miĥaelo, Paŭlo are ok, too).
Although I doubt anyone used/uses/would use them. :)
All names from your list are pretty normal, at least from my point of view.
