Reply to: This or That toughies: pitting BtN darlings against each other. by Caroline
Elizabeth or Katherine or Elisabeth or Catherine: So difficult, since they both bore me. I guess I'll go with Katherine, because it might mean torture, and I could call her Kitty, which is pretty rad.
Caroline or Charlotte: Caroline because it makes me think of caramel/maple syrup
Margaret or Virginia: Virginia because the virgin meaning freaks people out
Evangeline or Seraphine: Seraphine because it's a fambly name and also has a righteous meaning and the Seraphim were crazy and like covered in eyes.
Susannah or Louisa: Susannah because I have a good friend named Louise and that would be confusing
Helena or Adelaide: Helena just because I like it
Primrose or Rosalie: PRIMROSE because everyone hates it (it's a darling?) and it's just OTT
Alice or Lucy: Alice, I'm bored with Lucy
Annabel or Josephine: Annabel, I know a Joseph and he's gross
Matilda or Lucinda: Matilda because my mom hates it
Eleanor or Lydia: Lydia because I don't really care about Eleanor
Florence or Genevieve: Florence even though I have an aunt named this, I can't get into Genevieve.
Sylvie or Phoebe: Phoebe. Thank god you didn't ask me to pick between SylviA and Phoebe. That was a close one.

August or Alasdair: Alasdair. August is my gross born-again christian chiropractor inappropriate-touching uncle's name
William or Henry: Henry because there have been no Henrys in my family and I love being original
Asa or Silas: Silas because it's a god's name
Leo or Jack: Leo because it's a constellation
Cormac or Amos: ugh. Cormac I guess because I grew up listening to my great-grandma talk about how her uncle Amos tortured cats.
Theodore or Sebastian: Theodore. So cuddly!
Samuel or Edmund: Edmund. Hate Samuel
Charles or James: James! Jimmy Jimmy Jim-Jim.
