Eremia Leonora

[Emedrina]

Thoughts?

It's a bit weird to ask about polish names for a polish born kid on an English forum!
It is probably a nice name in Poland.

Are you planning to live in the UK? Why are you asking here, particularly?

I love Leonora, but the first name, I wouldn’t choose, I think you will be forever correcting people.

I like Leonora. Can you switch them? Make Leonora the first name?

There is a bit of a Harry Potter feel to Eremia

Another vote for Leonora

Thoughts?
In the UK no
In Poland it might be fine

Is it used regularly in Poland? I have vague recollections of meeting a Romanian Eremia many years ago although it may have been a surname tbh.

Eremia does sound like something medical, possibly connected to bladder weakness.

Sorry to bang on but Yeremia sounds like a feminine Jeremy to me (YER-e-mee-a), whereas Eremia does sound like a disease (Er-EE-me-a, rhymes with Anaemia).

Eremia looks like a combination of enema and hernia to me. Really don’t like it.

Leonora is not a name I would choose but it’s nice enough.

I work in healthcare and Eremia doesn’t sound like a disease to me at all but hey.

I think your choice is really nice.

Eremia reminds me of Aramaic. Having said it a few times I think it's quite pretty. Leonora is quite grand but four syllables is too many for me to give it first name place. Nice as a middle name though.

I don’t like either but that’s just personal taste. I do agree that there are too many syllables and doesn’t flow. A shorter middle name would sound better. Both ending with the same letter doesn’t help either. It does remind me of a Harry Potter character.

Leonora's lovely, but I don't think Eremia translates well. We have bilingual/bicultural children and reasonably international names were important to us.

I quite like Eremia. I’m not sure how well the two names flow together though, due to them both ending in ‘a’.

I know an Austrian Eremia (eh-ray-MEE-yah), first name, but he’s a boy. It’s a nice sound, but it is long! In English-speaking countries I could see a girl Eremia being called Mia or Mimi as a nickname, or maybe Remi.

Just realised Eremia is also four syllables. I'm such a dope!

If Eremia is a normal name in Poland and that’s where the baby will grow up then go for it but it sounds like a medicine to my ears. Leonora is lovely though.

I’m Polish and it’s first time I’m hearing this name
Eremia?!

Quick google search says Greek, Romanian, Moldovan. Trued googling whether it’s a Polish name somehow but nothing came up.

It's beautiful.

Arrhythmia came to mind when I tried to say it.

I'm not sure Eremia sounds nice to my ears, but it is probably fine in Poland!

For context, Amelia is a medical condition and means 'no limbs'. This amuses me it is also known as phocomelia, which literally means 'limbs like a seal'. Not sure that's better or worse tbh!

If you're in the UK then maybe Hermia? Although autocorrect did just try to make it Hernia and hermit
