Thoughts on Basilie?

What are your thoughts on Basilie?
I got a feeling that it can be either perceived as very whimsical or very solemn and ‘antique’ :).

[name_f]Basilie[/name_f] is really pretty! It seems pretty whimsical and I could definitely see it on a little girl. I like how it’s similar to [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] in sound.

Sounds like a description to me, as in has a lot of basil. Oh this sauce is quite basilly. Maybe it’s an accent thing though.

It makes me think “basilisk” :dragon:

But it’s quirky and interesting. Definitely unexpected, and it does have quite a solemn vibe (mainly because I get that feel from [name_u]Basil[/name_u] and Basilia) but there’s a naturey side to it which lightens it up a bit. In short, I quite like it.

To me it looks like an old-timey [name_u]French[/name_u] name. How do you pronounce it? I think it would sound quite nice in a [name_u]French[/name_u] accent.

I’m not a french speaker but I’m guessing (from hearing several audios online) that it may be Bah/Beh-zill/sill-lie, depending on the accent, probably a bit similar to Cecily.

Not really a fan of how the ending sounds like “silly” and it seems masculine to me maybe because of Basil? Oh and Vasili!

Oh, okay. In my head, I was pronouncing it bah-zee-lee with a full-on [name_u]French[/name_u] accent. :sweat_smile:
