HelpRe: Flapper Era FN + LN
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I still really like Kitty Callaghan, even if I'm slightly less sure of the authenticity of Kitty. I got my info mixed up and thought it was used as a give name in the 1900s, but it didn't even reach the top 500 in 1901. It may have been used as a nickname for Catherine, Katherine, etc. but I need to do more research on the prevalence of the nickname.
I kind of like Frances. I know I paused at that one while reading the SSA list.
I wouldn't mind being Lucille nn Lucy, but there's usually a Lucy at this party.
Minnie is another one at which I paused, but I'm 5'9". It feels a little weird to be called something that sounds like "mini" when I'm...not. Haha.
Opal I would like if I didn't have a weird negative association with it.
Ruby is one that I considered too, but the dress is sort of burgundy. It just feels too on point...or something.
Sadie might work.
I really kind of want to use Vera, but I have a weird OCD connection with it as well. I'm wondering if I could work on getting past that because it seems like a great choice.
I'll mull over these some more. Thanks for all of the ideas!

you're way overthinking something that ought to be light-hearted fun
There were lots of Minnies running around back then and some of them grew taller than you. Lots of Rubys too, who wore all different colors.

I know. It's a problem I have. :\ I'm sorry. I really do appreciate all of the ideas.
