all of my favorite words are three syllables ending in vowel sounds.

examples: neutrino. galaxy. jeremy.

lots of feminine names follow this formula, i especially like the final AH sound. julia. fiona. bianca. diana (more so dy-ah-nah than dy-anna). anita.

also following the formula but not great favorites of mine are monica, jessica, erica, melissa. something about the double ss or the hard c, even though i like it in bianca?

not a fan of michaela (icky short I sound) or delia (not really trisyllabic, usually pronounced deel-ya).

elizabeth is not a pretty name...who ends a feminine name in TH? eliza maybe, but elizabeth?

i suppose i could extend the honor to words with more than three syllables. juniata, yes. susquehanna, yes. kipona fits. conodoguinet, no. allegheny, yes. philadelphia, yes. pittsburgh, no. tionesta, yes. piccolo is a pretty word. pennsylvania i like. cinderella, too.

some i like but im still thinking about are chicago, salome (too close to salami), mathematica, algebra, biology, geology, the -ology ending in general.

but if you ask me my favorite word, i would prolly say galaxy.
