Help[Opinions] Re: Alphonsine vs Marie
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
Very interesting!
My guess is that because she reinvented herself, she wanted a fresh new name. And I think she picked Marie because she experienced the age-old phenomena of people with common names wishing they had an uncommon one, and people with uncommon names wishing they had a "normal" one. And nothing is more normal than Marie.
I prefer Alphonsine, because it's different, and that's the sort of thing I appreciate.
