Re: Julia Lavender.

But what if Lavender itself is something dear to me, and isn't just used for fluff in this case? Would that change this feeling? Just curious! :)

It doesn't, for me. My dislike for it is really strong. It reminds me of a young woman I met who called herself Princess Lavender (pseudonym), and would talk freely to anyone who'd listen about the details of her polyamorous sex life. Even without her, it makes me think of latherer ... lavatory ... the stressed LAV syllable bugs me. And there's the overpowering fake lavender scent in small public restrooms ... I just don't like it! Sorry.
But obviously, a lot of people do like it ... so it's just me. I suppose that if I were someone else and got named Julia Lavender and was told how meaningful my name was, I'd feel differently.

Oh my, that is unfortunate! I'm sorry. Coincidentally I know someone who calls herself "Princess D" and sounds like a similar kind of person lol. And yeah, I can see "LAV" not being the most pleasant sound.
Thanks for your explanation!
