Help[Opinions] Re: Amalia & Gilbert
in reply to a message by LMS
Amalia doesn't have a lot of appeal to me. Just sounds square. I'll maul ya. Other than that, though, can't complain about it, it's nicer than Amelia, and nn Mali / Mollie would work for it and keep it from being too square for life.
I can certainly imagine Gilbert as geeky or old, but I don't naturally tend to think of it that way. To me it is like Francis or Henry or Cyrus or Grant - old but not obsolete, still has life. Definitely nickname Gil has a spiffy, masculine style. Bertie is so artificial - it is geeky and old man in a self-conscious way.
