Help[Opinions] Alecstis and Anthone
Alcestis - what do you think of this name? What kind of person does it conjur to mind.
Also, I love Anthony (an-tha-nee), but to me, this is such a female name, Anthone, from Anthus, flower with a feminine suffix, is typically ancient greek.
Also opinions on, Amaryssein (am-a-RI-sin or ama-RI-see-an) - means 'to sparkle'
And Amaryllis
Amanecer (ama-nee-sayr) - dawn
Aube - aw-bay - dawn
finally, Pallas (from pallax meaning maiden)

I'm confused...did you mean Alecstis as a butchering of Alexis or Alcestis (makes me think of 'incest'...ew!). Alecstis makes me think that someone didn't even know how to prn Alexis & couldn't kre8tyvleigh spell it to get the prn they wanted (should probably be Alecsys or Alecsis).
Anthony is all male to me; I'd probably recognize Anthone as being a Greek spelling, but I'm not sure what my reaction would be seeing it on a girl. Hearing it on a girl, I know I'd be slightly irritated.
I really like Amaryssein, Amaryllis, Amanecer, and Pallas (the last one makes me think of "The Raven" by E. A. Poe). I like the spelling of Aube, but the prn, unfortunately, reminds me too much of Ebay.
