I love Eurydice but worry about the Rid sound.
Galatea is beautiful to me because of the mythology (she was the perfect woman carved from marble). The sound is a bit hard for my ears, but maybe appropriate for marble.

Galatea and Eurydice may work in the middle though 🙂 I think they would make beautiful middles 🙂

I really like Clio 🙂
Is Ione pronounced like Iona or does it rhyme with phone?
Now I think about it I think I prefer Ione (assuming it rhymes
with phone).

I like Cleo too I don’t know why but I prefer this spelling.
Ione- Eye-oh-nee sort of like phone lol I prefer Ione to Iona.

Galatea still wows me. I think it’s amazing. A little bit ethereal but really no different from name nerd frilly favourites like Aurelia and Aurora.
Ione is also pretty and I find it more ‘user friendly’ than the Scottish Iona in which the “I own a” issue really gets to me. I know there was an Iona Kitty in the Telegraph earlier this year and I really couldn’t help myself laughing at it.
Thaleia reminds me of Thalia/Tahlia- both of which are typical Aussie BA regulars.

I like both Aurelia and Aurora, Galatea is growing on me more 🙂 Do you think its usuable in NZ though?
Hehe I own a kitty that is so funny when you read it all together 😛
Thaleia reminded me of Tahlia to I prefer Thalia to Tahlia, I think Thalia is quite pretty.
