Adana Arcanum

Just wanted to get some feedback for my name idea for my tarot deck.

I feel a bit weird using my first name in it, but it's been suggested quite a bit. And with the pronunciation of my first name (uh-DAY-nuh), it kind of has a ring to it (if you pronounce 'arcanum' with a long 'A' in the middle, at least).

What do you think?

BTW, you can find some images from the new deck here:

Just an aside...I don't see 'The Moon' pictured there. Please, please don't use the 'full moon' of the body, LOL That would be taking things too far.

I think the name is fine, though I wouldn't have thought to pronounce Adana that way on my own. I think I'd have put the emphasis on the first A if I didn't have you tell how to say it right.

Hahaha! No, I didn't "moon" anyone with The Moon. Though I do have to fix that card. I accidentally put the wrong astrological symbol on it.

And yeah, no one ever really pronounces my name correctly when they read it. I've kind of grown used to it. But I figured explaining the pronunciation would help make sense of the reasoning behind the name of the deck.

I love the name, and yes, love the poetic sound of it!

Thank you!

I've actually made the new deck available for pre-orders on my website, http://adanawtn.com
I'm also putting it on Etsy (there seems to be a growing number of tarot fans there, so I'd like to see how it fares on the site.
