I came across this name in a name book of mine, and was dazzled. The variations of the name listed [name_f]Lacey[/name_f], so I assumed it’s pronounced je-lay-see-uh. It looks pretty, sounds lovely, and means “inclined to laughter” in Greek. Plus it comes with lovely nickname [name_f]Lacy[/name_f] and even Gelly (she could be little Gelly [name_m]Bean[/name_m]!).
So, tell me, do you all like Gelasia as much as I do? I’m not sure if this is just a crush or if it has real potential…
It sounds pretty and rather fancy, but also rather fantasy story-like. I could see it working on a certain type of girl, someone who’s creative and artistic, a bit dreamy and romantic… but what if she doesn’t turn out like that? It’d be great on a character though. The “gela” part also makes me think of gelato though.
Never heard it before, but it’s really nice and I adore Greek names. Also Gelly is an adorable nn for a little girl. We don’t really have gelato here, so I doubt anyone would be bothered, I’m not.
Hm, I guess Gelasia isn’t as perfect as I thought. I’m still smitten and excited about it, though, I just realized that it’s on the first name list I ever made (I was probably like eleven). Thanks for the honesty, it really helps me get a realistic view if this name. Haha, I’ll admit it makes me think of gelato too, but is that really a bad thing?
