What do you think of Tanaquil, for a girl? How would you say it?

This. It reminds me of Nyquil.

That's what I thought of too.

Definitely... although it made me think of seroquel instead of nyquil.

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Me too!

Definitely sounds like a medication to me.

At first I thought this was a post for one of the parenting comms I'm in, I thought it was a drug someone was asking about. So, no, never.

Sounds like a pokemon or a medicine... O_o

Sounds like a cold medicine.

Tan-ah-quil. And it sounds like Nyquil, so not good.

Hate it

I don't know what to think, because I am concentrating on finding a suitable pronunciation that doesn't make the name sound like it came straight from the gates of baby name hell. :(

Hate it.

Makes me think Nyquil. Makes me want to cry for the child.

Reminds me of the lovely Tanaquil Le Clerq. I really like it.

And I pronounce it... Tanna-quill (that is as close as I can get...)
