Stian is really interesting. [name_f]My[/name_f] first instinct was to think it was pronounced Sty-an, so you might have to make corrections. It has a cool sound though, like [name_m]Steven[/name_m] without the n. [name_m]Delmore[/name_m] is also really cool and I like [name_m]Stian[/name_m] [name_m]Delmore[/name_m] as a combo!

I really like the meaning, but I dont really like [name_m]Stian[/name_m].
[name_m]Delmore[/name_m] is okay, but nms.

love it!! names, flow, meaning, all.
and i think i got the pronunciation :smiley:

[name_m]Stian[/name_m] is new to me and I kind of like it :relaxed:, I would have assumed it was taken from the last syllable in [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and it’s great that its a name on its own righ too. [name_m]Delmore[/name_m] looks and feels like an honor name, kind of dated and clunky, but I will say that normally I don’t buy the poetics of pairing FN and MN meanings. If a name means song and the other means green valley, its a hard sell to say that the name means “song of the green valley”. If the preposition isn’t there, then that’s not really what it means. You found one that actually has that meaning through and through and it’s quite clever! I appreciate the creativity.
