HelpRe: Any thoughts on these names?
in reply to a message by KK
Charlotte - dislike the sound and the spelling (actually contains the word 'harlot'); prefer Charlene/Charline
Helen - flawless, beautiful classic. I'd use it happily.
Gabrielle - don't like the ONEtwoTHREEfour rhythm; Gabriel for a boy is OK.
Emma - bland and boring; can't for the life of me see the point of it.
Maddalena - no doubt it's OK in its own language environment, but where it sounds like Madder Lena, no thank you.
Scarlett - dislike colour names, most word names, GWTW and its heroine.
Elena - pronunciation issues, and who needs it when there's Helen?
