HelpRe: some names
in reply to a message by Katie
Danielle - nice, but has always felt like a very perfunctory feminine form of Daniel.
Anne - classic and nice. I much prefer Anne to Ann.
Mary - does kind of feel old and a bit plain. Marie just sounds French. I prefer Maria.
Charlotte - this is my name and I have honestly hated it for most of my life. I've grown into a begrudging acceptance of it, but I don't think I will ever truly like it, especially not now that one in every ten girls under ten is named it.
Morrigan - nice, but prefer as a middle name. Not sure I can picture it as a fn at all outside a fictional/mythical setting. Prefer Morgan, actually, or Morgana. Morwenna kind of sounds a bit whiny. I suppose Morgana could work okay as a first name, as it could be shortened to Anna or even Moira? But I think I still prefer it as a middle name.
Harley - for a guy or a girl? Though honestly, I don't like it much for either. I always think of Harley Quinn, whom I like, but there's the puns that she even makes herself: "Don't you wanna take a ride on your Harley? Vroom! Vroom!"
Charles - classic, but terribly overused. I find it terribly dull; I wouldn't even use it for a mn. Peter is far nicer, imo; I like Peter. :)
James - about the same as Charles. Overused to the point of hilarity, honestly: James Kirk, James Barnes, James Howlett, James Hook, James and the Giant Peach. I far prefer Jacob, Jason, Joseph, even John (which probably should feel just as boring for basically the same reasons, yet somehow doesn't).
Anne - classic and nice. I much prefer Anne to Ann.
