Reply to: Diana, Fern, Anthony, Ivor by Effie
I love Fern and really like Anthony. I love the beautiful forest imagery that Fern conguers in my mind. It's a very short but sweet name. Anthony sounds cool yet also classic. It has an edge to it but it doesn't sound like the name of a trouble maker. I prefer Anton as a nn over Tony.

I like Diana more than Diane, but they both feel a bit dated. Diana reminds me of Princess Diana and the Roman goddess who is the equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis. So it has good name associations for me.

I'm not fond of Ivor. It reminds me of ivory and Igor.
