[Opinions] Jaynelia
Wdyt about the name Jaynelia? I know the bearer of that name, Jaynelia Coadou, she is a dubbing actress from France.

A little made up, but it has a nice ring to it.
The “jay” syllable clashes with the “nelia”
It feels like it’s mushing something incredibly modern with something incredibly classic. It just doesn’t work.

I like Jane, I like Nelia, but Jaynelia is a bit…much.

Not a fan of "creative" fusion names like this. Jane is lovely, and several names that end with -nelia are lovely - Jane Cornelia, etc. But fused together like this? Blech.
Presumably a merger between Jane, or Jayne, and Cornelia. Jane is quietly lovely and Cornelia is a bit fussy for me but certainly a good name. But both of them do much better as stand-alones. I really cannot warm up to Jaynelia at all. I know someone who named her daughter Nelia; Cornelia was a family name but that person was always known as Nelia. I liked it, rather to my own surprise! Less is more, perhaps? And Jaynelia is too much more.
Cornelia is a tricky one. I’m currently in the position of trying to work it into my third child’s name (after my recently departed grandma). It’s not a name that naturally has much appeal to me and one of my other children already has an “-elia” name, so I’m looking for some creative solutions like this. But perhaps I should create a new thread...
