[Opinions] Re: Illuminata

Illuminata, Illuminata…
It’s a bit too witchy for me. It just has this old feeling to it, I think your word choice of “antique” described it nicely, like an old dusty piece of furniture. I don’t like the Ill- beginning, it’s not a pleasant sound and obviously doesn’t have good connotations, and I don’t like the choppiness of -nata at the end either. I grew up in the Chicago area so I stress my As sometimes, names like Donna and even Connor sound kind of unappealing with my accent at times, and I feel this is no different.
However I do really like some of the nickname potentials, Lumi and Minna are both really cute.
