Help[Opinions] Acadia
What do you think of Acadia? Acacia has always been a name I liked, but I've just discovered that I'm really liking Acadia, as well. I was thinking about Acadia Lisette, but I'm failing to think of some more middle names to do it justice.
Oh, and to my sadness, I'm worried that Arcadie, another name that I kind of fancy, is unusable. It looks pretty on paper, but I'm afraid people'd pronunce it AR-katie all the time. And that sounds like "Our Katie", which is as bad as Amiracle or Myangel. (I'd pronunce it ar-kay-DEE.) Is it worth saving? I'm afraid I don't like Arcadia, no offense to the one here. ;)

The name Acadia sounds a little too grown up, more like an old woman's name. Good luck, though.

I like Acadia!
Arcadia, Acacia and Arcadie aren't my style though.
Acadia comes from Akkad, a region of Babylonia: http://www.crystalinks.com/akkadia.html

As for Arcadie/"our Katie"... sorry, I must agree with you. I find the pun obvious. One fo the reasons I chose Arcadia as my username was because it sounded like Katie, and Arcadie... well, sounds even closer to Katie. Sorry.

The Ac- just doesn't appeal to me much, maybe because it just sounds a little harsh to me spoken aloud. The R really helps that. The sh in Acacia helps it too.
I'd pronounce Arcadie ARcahdee, and I don't think it sounds like our katie.. it would if it was pronounced arCAIDee. ARcahdee is nice, I think. Actually, it is practically the same as Arkady.. never realized that. I like Arkady too. Maybe spelled Arcadee, you could get it pronounced the way you like it? That would be kind of cute IMO.

Oooh, Arkady is pretty. :) I think it's a very attractive name for a boy. I haven't given much of the Arcadios family of names much thought, and I'm starting to think that perhaps I should.
It's strange, but I kind of like the spelling Arcadee. Generally, I can't stand double E endings like that (especially when they turn names into things like Ashlee and Chelsee), but Arcadee kind of looks cute.
Clearly, this needs more thought. Thanks for the help!
