Re: Names on my mind recently
in reply to a message by Pink Princess
Jemima / Jemimah - I prefer Jemima. I love it, but I know it's problematic in America because of the Aunt Jemima stereotype.
Keziah - it's OK, but a bit too close to the Swedish word for cottage cheese (keso).
Sepphora - part of me like it, but the four last letters spells the Swedish word for w***e and the first letters looks like a word that means something like "spaz", so no, sorry.
Hepzibah - sorry, but I can't stand it. Sounds like a sneeze.
Talitha - interesting, but not really my style.
Saffron - I like it a lot.
Posy / Posie - sounds silly.
Yasmin - I used to hate this name, but now I know a Yasmine who is so sweet that I can't dislike the name.
Lula - more of a nickname.
Zadie - nms.
Zuri - nah.
Gigi - childish.
Matisse - it's kind of cute.
Amari - nah, sounds like a clothes brand.
Elior - too fantasy-esque for my taste. And also makes me think of Eeyore.
Eliezer - too religious.
Ephraim - ditto.
Gideon - giddy up.
Jed - sorry, but yuck.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
