HelpRe: Opinions on some random names
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
Calista - don't mind it; wouldn't use it.
Bethany - very tired; prefer Bethan or Betsan.
Elena - doesn't happen where I live. I'd happily use Helen.
Susanna - prefer Susannah and would use it.
Carissa - where I live, it's a thorny shrub.
Tabitha - very nice except for the likelihood of Tabby; prefer Talitha.
Christiana - two of my great-grandmothers were Christiana, both called Chrissie. I'd consider it as a mn, but probably wouldn't use it, not being religious at all.
Cameron (for a girl) - doesn't happen here; I still laugh.
Silas - starts with a sigh and ends with an ass. No.
Simeon - too close to simian.
Titus - pretentious.
Walter - very nice except for Wally.
Nicholas - very nice indeed.
Jasper - a 19th-century music-hall villain, twirling his moustaches and planning the heroine's downfall.
Moses - a one-owner name, like Elvis and Errol. Also shortens to Mo, as does Mohammed, so there could be interesting misunderstandings.
