Re: Honest reactions to my favorites?
in reply to a message by Caroline
Anne or Susannah "Annie"— I love the nickname "Annie", though I think of some of my favorite books from childhood "The Magic Tree House" series whenever I hear the name. I definitely like Anne better than Susannah, a name that sounds quite snobby and southern in my opinion.
Louisa— I don't like or dislike the name, but there are a lot of worse names out there.
Eliza— I like it on it's own and as a diminutive of Elizabeth, but it's not a favorite of mine.
Sally or Sarah "Sally"— I like Sarah, but I think of Sally as old-fashioned.
Virginia— Considering it's a state I would never use it, but I like Ginny as a nickname.
Alfred— Surprisingly, I quite like this name. I like the adorable nickname "Alfie" as well.
Arthur— Arthur is a family name for me, and I like the King Arthur association, but I dislike the nickname "Art".
Edwin— Edwin is nice, but I prefer Edmund.
William— I like it on it's own, and the nicknames "Will", "Willie", "Bill", and "Liam" are nice. For some reason the nickname "Billy" irks me.
James— James is a personal favorite, but I dislike all the inevitable nicknames, so I would probably never use it.
