I heard the name "Ferelith" somewhere. It means "perfect princess". It rhymes with Meredith. what do you think of it.

honestly - it sounds like someone with a lisp trying to say Meredith.

I agree with mpepper~ the meaning is lovely but the name itself is awkward.

It sounds like the name of an elf in a fantasy RPG.

I don't like the name, and the meaning is ridiculous. Perfect princess? Spare me. :P

Hm, this meaning sounded a little "created" to me, so I googled around a bit to see if I could find any more information for you.

I really lucked out. I ran across a post by a well-known onomastician in response to a query about Ferelith's etymology. He says it is Scottish in origin, but the meaning is unknown (http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=328884&board=gen).

Hope this helps!

I don't like it, but I agree with rubytitania.

I'd assume that the child was hairy and desperately needed a razor, the good Lord forgive me. It's awful. DX

That is the most hideous name I have ever heard.
