[Opinions] Re: Aphra
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I like it, though yeah, AY-fra wouldn't be intuitive for me.
I think it's spunky and antique seeming.
It reminds me of names like Audra, Twyla, Lyra, Isla, Dinah, Raya, Sally, which I wouldn't normally group together.
I think these are nice combos...
Aphra Blossom
Aphra Celestina / Celestine
Aphra Dorothy
Aphra Gwendoline
Aphra Henriette
Aphra Ismene
Aphra Inez
Aphra Melisande
Aphra Leonie
Aphra Niobe
Aphra Laetitia
Aphra Temitope
Aphra Zitkala
Aphra Hortense, Aphra Jemima, Aphra Jocasta are interesting but in a specific overbearingly 18th century way, like they seem like they belong in a museum. I get that vibe from it in general and some of the other combos but a lot more strongly with those 3.
Also, I think Aphra Peony is the first Peony combo I've ever thought was decent.
