Help[Opinions] Re: Berry
in reply to a message by Ismene
Three things immediately came, overlapping, to mind when I read your post...
1) The *sound* of Barry/Berry as a name is too associated with the masculine name for me to think of it, or feel it, as a feminine given name.
2) The spelling, Berry, and the imagery it brings to mind feels too feminine to be used as a masculine given name.
3) "What a cute, though non-intuitive, nickname for Bernadette!" (The Berry spelling)
