Beautiful Language

I just came across this list of the ten most beautiful words in the English language, as proposed by the writer, Wilfred J. Funk, in 1932.

Melody
Golden
Chimes
Luminous
Mist
Tranquil
Murmuring
Lullaby
Hush
Dawn

Just reading them out loud brings such a feeling of calm and peace.  One that I think is missing from the list though is "Grace".

What would be on your list?

As you mentioned my name, I felt obliged to comment! Beautiful words.

I'm assuming it's either the first or last on the list? :) Or maybe my own contribution? Anyone of them would be beautiful names to carry.

I randomly found your post and truly enjoyed the postings I read. The MacAskill video indeed was awesome. Thank you.
