HelpRe: Honest reactions to my favorites?
in reply to a message by Caroline
Anne or Susannah ("Annie") -- I like the sweetness of Annie but prefer the gorgeous Susannah overall. Susannah seems happy while Annie seems really friendly to me. Re: Anne, I prefer Anna, however, the e on the end is heaps better than Ann.
Louisa -- I love Louisa, period. My only pauses are the potential nns Weezie and Weezer (shudder!).
Eliza -- I don't care for this much. It comes across to me as both pompous and hillbillyish (is that a word?) at the same time. I also don't care for nns on the bc.
Sally or Sarah ("Sally") -- While nice, Sarah is dull due to overuse. Sally as a stand alone isn't enough for me yet it's much better than Sarah.
Virginia -- I like the way it looks and sounds yet I have reservations here because of the obvious 'virgin' association and because I tend to think 'vagina' whenever I read Virginia. I hope it's just me. Anyway, I love the nn Ginny.
Alfred -- Sorry, I hate it. It's dreary and dull and I'm wracking my brain with something positive to contribute and I just can't this AM.
Arthur -- I really like Arthur which is strange because it's very similar to Alfred yet Arthur is working for me. Perhaps it's the King Arthur association or the cool nn Art. I don't know. Best not to question it.
Edwin -- See Alfred above. Again, I love the similar Edmund.
William -- It's one of the few "funky names" that I'd consider using. I love the nn Will and even Liam.
James -- This is my husband's name. It's okay. At least he wasn't named Jimmy or Jim and isn't called those either. James is a classic name that won't go out of style yet it isn't exciting in any way.
Louisa -- I love Louisa, period. My only pauses are the potential nns Weezie and Weezer (shudder!).
Eliza -- I don't care for this much. It comes across to me as both pompous and hillbillyish (is that a word?) at the same time. I also don't care for nns on the bc.
