Help[Opinions] Re: Fidelia (ETA)
in reply to a message by Bear
Oh, lots of nice combos, thanks! I'm especially fond of
Fidelia Sophie - unfortunately, Sophie is pretty much the #1 middle name where I live, although I really love it. But I wouldn't want to "hide" Fidelia in the middle name spot... oh well, it's going on my list!
Fidelia Kestrel - I really love this one! Fidelia is a tad frillier than what I usually go for. And Kestrel balances it out very nicely, IMO. (Plus, Fidelia Kestrel sounds like she could be a sister to Louise Erdrich's Fidelis Waldvogel. Awesome!)
Fidelia Imogen - love it!
Fidelia Vered - very nice.
Fidelia Margot - another one I simply love! Margot has been on my mind for quite a while now... I really like the retro charm of this combo. The only thing that keeps me back from using it is how people pronounce it here: Mar-gott...
Fidelia Aisling ("ASH-ling")- I so wish I could use Aisling. It's been a GP of mine for more than ten years now...
Fidelia Rhonwen - very interesting
Well, I asked for the "personality" of this name because... hum.. I originally inteded it for a character.
It all started when I expressed my newly found love for Fidelma - which I wanted to use on a real child. My combo was Thea Fidelma. Still like that one.
Then someone brought up Fidelia and I thought "Wow, what a nice name!". Fidelma-Fidelia-Fidelma-Fidelia... heck, which one do I prefer? I guess I can't have both...
Then I thought to myself, ok, maybe I should try Fidelia on a character* first. That was yesterday morning.
By yesterday evening I was back to using it on a real child.
* Both Fidelma and Fidelia have "fidel" in them, which is an adjective in my mother tongue meaning "jolly" or "merry". An old (almost obsolete?) adjective that most people still have in their passive vocabulary, though. It's not that prominent with Fidelma as I pronounce it differently.
That's why I thought maybe Fidelia sounds a bit too cheerful on a human being. And maybe a little too close to Mr Castro, too?
Would the adjective thing and Fidel Castro bother you? Or do you think that it's no problem at all?
Ah, sorry, that sounded confused, huh? ;-)
