I like the name and myth associated with [name]Alcyone[/name]. Is the name too unusual though? Would you use the pronunciation [name]Al[/name]-[name]SI[/name]-o-nee or [name]Al[/name]-SEE-o-nee? Would you use the full name or use a nn like [name]Allie[/name]? Any other nn come to mind? Thanks!
I adore [name]Alcyone[/name]! It’s on my list, I absolutely love the myth (one of the really beautiful ones I think)! It is unusual, but these days I don’t think it matters. People name their children anything & everything.
I’d pronounce it al-[name]SIE[/name]-ə-nee, and I’d use the full name, I’m not really into nicknames (allie is cute though!).
I think it is a cool name but may cause pronunciation issues and it kindof sounds loke a medication to me, IMHO. : ) (It could be a great mn option!)
I think it works! Pronunciation issues will probably come up, but even the simplest seeming names have them. [name]Allie[/name], [name]Ani[/name], [name]Sisi[/name], [name]Sissy[/name], [name]Alcie[/name] and [name]Alec[/name] would all be sweet nn options.
