 I'm watching the movie "Zolushka" (Russian version of Cinderella), and Zolushka's evil stepsisters name's are
Dafna and Brunhilda.

WDYT?

Personally... I LOVE THEM! If I ever have kids, I'm going to name my two girls after them. I don't know, they're so different, they're awesome. And to be a little off topic, that's Brunhilda in my icon :]

I like Brunhilde to Brunhilda, just because of the Ring Cycle. But it's a gorgeous name and seriously under-rated. Dafna, though, just sounds like some weird form of Daphne.

I like Dafna... although I think it LOOKS a little funny.
maybe... Daphna. I dont know... that kind of takes the Russian out of it. Hmmm.

As for Brunhilda.. I don't dig it. I don't HATE it, though.
Maybe it's just one of those names that I've always thought of as an "ugly" name.


And, in the movie, were the step-sisters played by men?
Brunhilda, in your icon, looks like a man.
I'll feel terrible if I'm wrong... haha.

LOL! Dafna was played by actress Inna Belokon, and Brunhilda was in fact played by a man, Ukrainian actor Andrij Danylko, best known as his alter-ego Verka Serduchka :] I'm a big fan of Andrij's. (Hence my username, lol)

Dafna's interesting. I don't like Brunhilda, but Hilda is one of my favorite names.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

I think Daphne may be where "Dafna" comes from, not too sure.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

Dafna is quite an interesting name. I never heard of it until I watched the movie.

[kimber-leigh.livejournal.com]

Brunhilda looks like Liev Schreiber in drag! lol!

i don't like either name, but i prefer Dafna to Brunhilda.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Brunhilda sounds so old-fashioned to me! Dafna is alright...I'd prefer Daphna though.

Aside from the names themselves (which I personally would not select), I wonder what little girls would think about being named after the ugly evil step-sisters.... Most little girls I know aspire to be *princesses*, not the opposite! Even given that, I would not name a daughter Cinderella, either! Belle? Maybe!

Just something to think about.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

LOL! I think Brunhilda is quite a pretty girl... uhh.. well, yeah, you know ^_^

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

I don't know... I ALWAYS tend to lean towards the 'villains'. I seriously didn't want Zolushka to marry the prince.. I was wanting Brunhilda to marry the prince. [Well, If I was the prince, I'd marry her] (And I just went way off topic! lol)

[sing4th.livejournal.com]

LOL

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Wait; would you want to encourage little girls down the "I am a princess!" path?



... I typed that rhetorically and then realized that yes, actually, many people do. Angel, Princess, Darling, etc.

HRM.

[sing4th.livejournal.com]

Nope, I wouldn't! I just think that Belle is the only princess name that I don't think is tacky to use... I don't plan on using even that.

My girls names taste runs more along the lines of:
Amelia Jean
Kayley Michelle
Ariana
Emily (just too popular right now..)

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Well, I love the name Cinderella but would 100% rather my hypothetical daughter think she was named after an evil stepdaughter than a princess. Heh.

[sing4th.livejournal.com]

LOL - you guys are cracking me up today! (maybe unintentionally?)

[purrzik.livejournal.com]

What about a character Daphna in the movie "Some like it hot" ("В джазе только девушки")?
I thought almost everybody have seen it :)

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen that movie, lol. I'll have to check it out ^_^

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Dafna

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

It's Daphne in the English version.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

It's a cute name :]

[purrzik.livejournal.com]

Okay, almost recalled it :)

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

No problem :]

Brunhilde

A mighty female warrior, one of the Valkyries, and a heroine from the German epics, especially in the Nibelungen saga, in which she is a Icelandic princess. She defied Odin and in punishment he imprisoned her within a ring of fire on earth, decreeing that there she would remain until a brave hero rescued her. Siegfied (Sigurd) braved the fire, broke her charmed sleep, and fell in love with her. He gave her the ring, Andvarinaut, unaware of its curse. Eventually she kills herself when she learns that Sigurd had betrayed her with another woman (Gudrun), not knowing he had been bewitched into doing so by Grimhild.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]
