[Opinions] Re: Chalcedony and Cerulian
Chalcedony looks like a male name to me. How are you pronouncing it?Cerulian reminds me of cerulean, and seems like a female name. It sounds very pretty, nicer than Chalcedony.They both sound like character names, as well.

To my knowledge, Chalcedony is prn KAL-seh-doh-nee. :o) But I just checked at dictionary.com and the correct prn is kal-SED-nee. I've never heard anyone prn it that way, but that's what the dictionary says. edited b/c I checked the prn.“The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?”
