I stumbled across a site that has J.R.R.Tolkien Elvish words translated to Common English. (I’d been googling the meaning of the -dolen suffix and end up on there.)
I decided to look up words relevant to myself, and stumbled across Elenya. It’s Elvish for [name]Monday[/name] apparently.
I think it’s actually quite pretty, I’d say it “Eh-len-yah”.
While the whole “it’s Elvish for…” may be rather unconventional, I think it could still be a viable name.
Thoughts?
I think it’s beautiful in a GP kind of way.
Though - other names made up for literature have become established names.
I like it! It sort of feels like a Russian form of [name]Eleni[/name] or [name]Elena[/name], haha. Part [name]Eleni[/name], part [name]Nataliya[/name], and I love that it means “[name]Monday[/name]”–I think -day names are so fun, but too GPish for me to actually use. I mainly like it just because I could use [name]Leni[/name] as a nn, though, haha. I just adore [name]Leni[/name]!
I too got that Russian feel! Ahaha.
I thought it sounded Russain too or like a variant form of [name]Elena[/name]. I think it’s gorgeous and would make a great name!
I really like it, but I love all things Tolkien and the Elvish language he made is gorgeous. I have a site that’s Elvish to Common (and Dark Elvish, which is from a different set of books) that I like to go to and look up words. There are some great ones!
Elenya is very pretty, I like that suggestion. I think it is very usable and has lots of potential nns- [name]Leni[/name], [name]Elly[/name], [name]Enya[/name].
It is a bit different from your usual style though.
I totally agree with this! It’s like [name]Natalya[/name] too, which I know you liked 
I’m not into the whole Tolkien thing at all, but I think Elenya is pretty. Definite Eastern European vibe there.
I love it! But prefer to write it [name]Elena[/name].
Elenia would be nice.
It’s the name of a continent in one of my favorite book series, though.
