[Opinions] Re: Fidelis
in reply to a message by Bear
it depends on how it is pronounced.if it's fee-dell-iss, then I think of it as male and don't really care for it because it reminds me to much of Fidel and therefore Fidel Castro.but if it's fee-dell-ees (almost like fleur-de-lis) then I think it's female and quite pretty.the meaning is lovely.Luxiana

I never thought about pronouncing it "fee-dell-ees." That's very pretty. Have you actually heard it pronounced like that? I'd be interested to know. I've been thinking of it more like "fi-DEL-iss" or "fi-DAY-lis." Would you be more interested in Fidelia? (Which I assume is "fi-DEH-lia" or "fi-DAY-lia.")

I've actually never heard the name before, nor have I seen it.Fidelia doesn't really interest me. though I see the appeal of the name, I prefer Delia.I do prefer fi-DEH-lia to fi-DAY-lia.for my own use, I'd only consider Fidelis pronounced fee-dell-ees or fee-de-lees. I think that is the prettiest pronunciation. even if it's not real :]Luxiana
