Okay so I think I can probably predict what you guys willl think but I shall ask anyways.

What do you t hink of the name Nuka (new-GAH) and Angu (Ang-oo) Hmm that is really hard to explain. Its a very throaty sound. the ANG part is not a sharp "a (eh)" sound. Not Eh-ng. More like AHH with a throaty "G" sound and then oo (like an owl).

Lol.. if I make any sense Id love your opinions on the names!


Oh also do you like Lindy? or Delilah?

All = yucky. Delilah would be okay if it were not for the Biblical association of harlot-ism, lol.

Nuka reminds me too much of nukes.

Otherwise I can't make a judgment on Nuka and Angu since they're obviously names from another language, and might be absolutely gorgeous when used in that language, which I am not able to appreciate.

Also, if it's so hard to explain how to pronounce Angu, it might not be the best choice for a name if it's to be used in an anglophone country.

This.

I do like Delilah. Lindy's okay as a nickname for Melinda.

I had to move into an apartment that wouldn't allow them.
So, I got a small local aquarium pet shop to adopt them from me. :]

Luckily, I had a huge 100 gallon tank with an amazing filter.
So stinkiness wasn't an issue with my babies!

I also think I don't "get" the first two names (especially the -gah sound with a -ka), so no opinion on those.

I like Lindy, but now I still think of the soldier who got in trouble for the Abu Graib scandal.

Hate Delilah, but I do LOVE Delia.

And I am neither greenlandic nor danish...which explains why I don't get it. Although now I do, because you just explained it. Haha.

Nuka the spelling reminds me of nukes which is bad. The pronunciation you gave for it reminds me of nougat which is strange but not bad I suppose. Angu I don't get but the spelling makes me think of angus beef. It could work depending on where you are I suppose and if those names are more recognizable, but it's not working for me.

Lindy would be a good NN I think but it doesn't sound like a whole name. (And it sounds more like a boy name to me)

Delilah is absolutely beautiful, but I do think of the harlot in the bible which is unfortunate.
