What's the prettiest word, to you?
I'm a fan of ember and azure, and willow and autumn. I like words that are colors, like auburn.

Echelon.
What do you mean by pretty?
The words that ring clear in your mind, of course!
Um, okay! I like finesse, diligence, relentless, and finish. :D
Cleft
Lots of names come to mind...As for words, probably something like euphoric, flow, cascade.

Sombre
Malign
Carbon
Window
Six-letter words rule!
Evil.
I don't have one at the minute. How weird.
You're just saying that cause it has 6 letters! :mad2:
Frieze is kind of nice I guess :o
Urchin, cleave, cradle, busted, dutchess, sensational. Oh, and fabulous of course.
Does it matter if they're English? I really like the way superlatives sound in Latin ~ laetissima, pulcherrima, novissimus~

Hmmm... 'sentimental' and 'amethyst' come to mind. I'll think of more later.
defenestrate
Cellar door.
Duh.
Why has no one said Chlamydia yet? It's a very pretty word ignoring the meaning.
Also, I'm a big fan of "jus d'orange" in French.
mine is actually a female name. it doesn't matter how it's spelled, as long as it's spoken the same way. I have ALWAYS loved the name 'Sarah'
Mittens!
Ameliorate.
rohypnol
rubah. ruuuuuuuuuuuubah. I love saying her username!
EDIT: Although it's more 'fun' than 'pretty'.
i wouldn't say it's pretty, but obsequious is fun to say :bigsmile:
i also like onomatapaeia, but that's also not pretty
What, nobody's said 'psyche' yet? :p
I like the following:

And many more~
The name of the girl I'm going to marry, of course.:love:

Huxley is a nerd.
Chartreuse. And poignant, for some reason.
Laissez Faire! Hooray for anarchy.
Rye.
I like the word Weekend.
i'm writing this in both the 'Prettiest Word' and 'Ugliest Word' threads, because it applies to both :D
often, our perception of a word is based entirely off its meaning (eg. 'Weekend' :p), and although there's no real problem with that, i don't think that's what the topic is asking (even though i'm pretty sure i did it too :tongue:)
Rye, your last name is the prettiest word ever. EVER EVER EVER!
Oh, also, focusing on the alphabet, my favourite word to write is "Life" in cursive. My two favourite letters ("L" and "f") are well spaced and evenly balanced to me in this word.
Rapture, shatter, break, snap, scream, svabhava.
EDIT: Oh yeah, Lucifer is a beautiful name. Seriously, "bringer of light", look it up!
TSoL :greenie:
Seriously, lots of French loan words are "pretty" to me. Like cinematheque, baguette and ménage à trois. :p
I'm going to go with "fanciful." Why not?
Pirate.
Nymph
Ardour, Fervour, Colour. And jaundice is better than jaunty! >:O
I love the words bubble, cookie, smitzy and blergazoid of course. ^__^
