My list is backed up for a while so
I am finally getting to these names. Back during NaNoWriMo 2015 I had posted
about it and a fellow blogger Apolla 13 commented about her experience with it
and then told me a bit about the story she chose to write about. So for all of
my posts for March I will be doing some of the names of her characters for the
story she wrote for NaNoWriMo 2015 as I really like many of these names and
have yet to add them so I am adding them now.
Lucrezia I do believe was Apolla 13
main characters mothers’ name. It has a very foreign unique prettiness about
it. The meanings are very pretty and make the name have even a wealthier noble look
and feel to it than it already did. The long history of use and the stories
behind some who were named this are interesting but a bit sad at times.
When I saw the name I thought it
was an old name of perhaps Latin or Italian Origin and I was right but I am
afraid some might not see it that way though from the naming forums I saw with
ones discussing this name were positive. I however am afraid some might not
know how to pronounce it or may believe it was made up in the current era and
see that as bad without knowing the names long history.
I can see a noble woman being named
this. It has a very ethereal look and feel to it when said as well. All in all
this is a lovely name and I would love to see it used more often if
appropriate, I think only the right character and author can pull this name off
in the right way.
