HelpRe: Gotta have that Clunk (girls)
in reply to a message by Joiya
Well I'm the owner of a clunky name (Elspeth) so I do have an empathetic soft spot for the clunkers.
From your list I like:
Mavis
Oona
Tilda
Maude
Eudora
Clarice - Years ago I used to babysit for a family with a girl called Clarice, they pronounced it KLA-ris not klə-REES, it suited her well so I've liked it since.
Minerva (nn Mina)
Clotilde
Agnes
Edith (Edie)
Harriet
Tamsin
Agatha
Matilda
Beatrix
Millicent
Astrid
Ingrid
Greta
Frederica
Myrtle
Freda
Some clunky names on my list:
Esther
Ada
Clotilde
Dorothy (Dodie)
Eluned (el-IN-ed)
Everild
Endzela
Enid
Demelza
Angharad
Evadne
Lavinia
Margaret (Peggy)
Norah
Senga
Thomasina
Thora
Wendy

I really like Peggy for Margaret, I always forget that is an option.
I like your name as well.
Elunid is great! I had Melusine on my list for a bit, which is a bit softer but somehow reminds me of this name.
Everild and Endzela I have never heard of! Great names.
My daughter is Clarisse... I wanted Clarice, but my husband refused any name with the word "rice" in it. Ha. Clarisse was our compromise, though the spelling made the name soooo much less clunky than I prefer. It fits her though.
