What do you think about the name Coriandeur? Love it? Hate it?

Answer 1

Sounds like a seasoning or spice
HATE IT.

Answer 2

don't like it at all. first off, no one would know how to say it. second, the kid would be in fifth grade before even he could spell it, let alone anyone else. origional names are always, well, origional, but if you go with a more common name its going to be less stress on the kid, and you. everyone always mispronounces my name and it really annoys me. take my advice, if you like the name Coriandeur, go with Cori or Cory.

also, when it comes to names, you should always follow simple rules:
1 Does the name fit with your languages pernounciation rules? IE my name is Tanja. in Germany we pronounce this "Tahn-Yah" in america the same spelling is pronounced "TAN-Jah" so while it fit with my origional country and language, in the states it does not work. same with names like Mike (German female name, pronounced Meeka) or John (German Yo-hohn, Spanish Whuan)

2 does the name fit with the rest of the name? For example, if you have a spanish last name "De Los Santos" and the first name John, guess what? people are going to pernounce it Whuan. First name of (Italian) Bella wouldn't go well with a last name of (Ukranian) Kaminskaya. the only people that pronounce my full name correctly, do so because they recognize that my last name is German. (Dont look at my ID, it's not my birth name. my real last name is von Hannover)

and third, how do the lengths connect? Coriandeur needs a long last name to balance it out. you typically want the first name to be the same length or shorter than your last name. a super long first name like Coriandeur just doesn't go with a name like Smith or Cox.

Also, one more tip, watch out for similarties and intials. i knew someone once named Arcue Steven Sanchez. look at what his initials spell! a girl my dad went to school with was named Carrie Hunt. people would reverse the first letter of the first and last names, and come up with a horrible nickname.

Answer 3

There is Coriander in the produce aisles of your grocery store,
so even though it has a lilt to it when you pronouce it, it sounds
too much like a spice. Picture yourself calling that name
when you want that person or child to answer you and it does
not sound good. Sorry.

Answer 4

Eww, sounds French!

But seriously, it's a nice name. I'd Americanize it a little (Coriander) to make it easier for her to spell when she gets old enough. It's going to be tough teaching her to read by phonics with a name like that!

Answer 5

Coriander is a spice. It's a great name for a spice. It's a terrible name for a person.

Answer 6

Hate it. It sounds like the cooking spice - corriandor.

Answer 7

It is an interesting name for a spice. Are you looking for a nickname?

Good Luck

Answer 8

that's a different way of spelling the spice. Where does this kid live? In Blue's Clues with Paprika, Cinnamon and Salt and Pepper???

Answer 9

It's a seed, I think. I'm ambivalent. Sounds a bit highfallutin.

Answer 10

Kids going to get picked on and have his butt kicked with a name like that.
