Help[Opinions] Re: Niece’s Party
in reply to a message by Canielle
What fascinating names! I hope your niece had a wonderful time. A few comments:
Two Amelia people is two too many. That whiney Me-e really puts me off.
Elodie is nice; Lyla is flimsy.
Esther and Valerie are pleasantly vintage; Ellen is vintage without the pleasant.
Ghillie-Mae is astonishing: will she grow up to help people catch salmon, deer etc?
Lucy was going to be my daughter's name and I still love it; I'd also use Penelope, nn Penny.
Sorrel just sounds sorrowful; plant names are bad enough, but weed names ... !
Zara is trying too hard.
Iona ... what, exactly? A new phone, a pretty puppy, a useful bookcase?
Iris is bland; funny, because the flower isn't.
Aisling is also trying too hard. Better to just use Ashley and defy the spelling.
