Re: NOTD: Operatic Names

  • Elena - I really like.
    Michaela - I like but I probably wouldn't use it.

    I wouldn't use any of the boy names.

    Violetta is really pretty, but DH is such a fuddy duddy when it comes to names, it wouldn't get used.  The rest are NMS.  (All I can think of is Seneca Crane from Hunger Games...)

  • Girls:

    Elena - This is my oldest stepdaughters middle name.  I actually hate that name.  Every girl I've met named Elena is a total bitch.

    Michaela - NMS

    Violetta - It's pretty, but wouldn't use it.

     

    Boys:

    Andres - I really like this name, but I don't think H would go for it.

    Marcello - I like it, but wouldn't use it.

    Seneca - I also like this one, but wouldn't use it.
