I’d guess it was a boy but [name_u]Tilden[/name_u] “Tillie” on a girl would be adorable!

What if I told you that it’s pronounced like Terry and that it’s a Gaelic name meaning “the son of the short man”?

  • That changes my answer for better
  • That changes my answer for worse
  • That doesn’t change my answer

Does it go with my realistic names? (Elliot, Samuel, Magnus; Eve & Miriam)

  • It goes perfectly
  • It goes well
  • It’s not terrible
  • It doesn’t really go
  • It goes better with your boy names
  • It goes better with your girl names

Also is the sah-ruh pronunciation going to be a pain to enforce in the states?

  • Yes, definitely
  • Probably
  • I don’t know
  • No, it won’t be a problem

0 voters

I think the sah-ruh pronunciation would be easier to enforce with [name_f]Sara[/name_f] over [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]

I’ve known a good amount of Sara/Sarah’s, one of them had that pronunciation and she didn’t have any problems, I don’t know which spelling she had though

[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be more perfect in my opinion as they are both gorgeous popular medieval names so have a better vibe in my opinion :slight_smile: [name_f]Cicely[/name_f] would also be preferable to [name_u]Sisley[/name_u] for me :slight_smile:

I love [name_u]Oleander[/name_u] for a boy, although it’s floriography imagery puts me off slightly. I’m not sure if this is for a girl or a boy? For me [name_u]Oleander[/name_u] is very masculine and [name_f]Edelweiss[/name_f] feminine

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you mean like sar- like rhyming with car or like trying to get the A sound like apple before an R? Because I can’t make that sound with my accent. Sar- would be doable but if someone said their name was “saa-ra” that would come across as sair-uh to me and that’s how I’d say it if I repeated it.
