Re: Names you've wildly changed your opinion of

Matilda - First I thought it was a bit too posh and pretentious but now I think it's quite sweet.
Imogen - Seemed pretentious "oh look at me I'm referencing Shakespeare!" but then I just started liking the sound of it, I guess.
Eleanor - Didn't like the -or ending, but then I changed the American pronunciation for an English or a Scottish one and those are both much more charming. I've also met someone who goes by this name and she was so lovely and touching I started liking it. Elinor is probably my favourite spelling.
