Orietta

Opinions?

[Discogeek]

I like it, pretty but not too fluffy & a good name to grow with a child.

[hulabaloo]

I like it too. Sounds feminine and is easy to spell/pronounce. Also works in many languages. And is not overused as so many cutesy girls' names are these days. Great choice!

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

It's really growing on me...

[squoosh]

Sounds like Arietty from the Borrowers said in a faux posh voice.

Or a wonder pud hybrid of Oreo biscuits and Vienetta ice cream.

[HyvaPaiva]

I love it but I think its pronunciation - Oar-Yetta - might confuse people, I think people might accidentally pronounce it Orry-Etta.

[DrankSangriaInThePark]

It's very very very old lady in Italy, and not in a chic way. An Italian child would be called Orietta after her grandmother for example.

Sorry.

[DrankSangriaInThePark]

It is pronounced Ory-etta. At least in Italy.

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

I had thought it was pronounced Ory-Etta...And I don't mind if its crazy old lady in Italy.




Mmmmm,vienetta and Oreos?!

Genius.

Interesting that the oreos and viennetta comment was made. I opened the thread to say I thought it sounded like a chocolate bar...

[Frontdoorstep]

I pronounced it Ory-etta, I would have thought that unless you were told otherwise or knew otherwise, this is the way you would pronounce it.

[womma]

It's a type of pasta isn't it?

[SpookedMackerel]

I was going to say it sounded like a type of pasta.

But quite nice as a name as well

[DrankSangriaInThePark]

Orechiette is the pasta. But, yes, it does remind me of that as well.

Actually, it's probably how Saint Big Gob Oliver pronounces the pasta.

I immediately thought of the borrowers, sorry op
