Terrance is unexpected: whatever happened to
Terence? I don't mind
Terence, but it's unlikely to retain that form. A friend's wife was pregnant and I asked the obvious question: what will you name the baby? They chorused "
Terry", and I said "And if it's a girl?". Still in chorus, they said "
Terry" and I was silenced. For the record, she's
Terry Ellen,
Ellen after a grandmother.
Winsome really doesn't appeal to me one bit. Not a quality I esteem, and
Win or
Winnie aren't favourites either.
