[Opinions] Re: Rolanda
in reply to a message by noel
I think it looks nice. About as appealing as Roland - I'd admire it, but wouldn't use it. I don't know how "usable" I'd call it.
The "rol" part seems fashionable to me. Rowan ... Rohan ... Roman ... Rose ... Ronan ... Rory ... Royal
Possible reasons for disliking it:
-anda isn't fashionable right now
sounds kinda like a character in some kind of historical romantic fantasy epic. Compare Orlando / Rolando.
"I've never heard of that name. Did you make it up?"
It's a guy name with an "a" on the end! Ew!
Is it ro-LAN-da or ro-LAHN-da?
it's fancy - what will her friends *actually* call her? Ro? Lannie? Andie? Rolly?
- mirfak
