HelpRe: Honest reactions to my favorites?
in reply to a message by Caroline
Ah, you have such amazing taste in names :)
I prefer Susannah nn Annie to Anne. Susannah is so beautiful and Annie is a really sweet and unexpected nickname - although I do know a 24 year old Susanna who goes by Ani. I prefer Susie though.
Louisa is also beautiful. My maternal great-great-grandmother was called Louisa, and it's a family name on my dad's side too. I like the fact that it's familiar, and I'd probably call it a classic, but it's not very popular - especially not in the US.
Eliza was one of my favourites until my SO said it sounds like 'Here lies a..' in a Cockney accent, which put me off a bit lol. I do still like it though.
I love Sarah. I know a lot of people think it's plain and boring but I think it has a beautiful sound, and it's timeless. I don't like Sally though.
Virginia is pretty. I don't think it would work here because of the 'virgin' thing, and it's never really been popular in the UK, but in the US I think it would be a really nice name.
I like Alfred but the potential nickname Alfie puts me off. Fred or Freddie might be good.
Arthur I like a lot, but it's getting very popular here. It's a great name though.
I really like Edwin, it's another name from my family tree. It's probably my favourite of all the Ed- names.
William is great - can't go wrong with it. Don't like Liam as a potential nn though.
James is one of the best boys names there is. It would be near the top of my own list if SO's sister hadn't just married a James.
Other than Annie for Susannah, and maybe Sally for Sarah, would you use any nicknames for the names listed? :)
