Re: New names on my list
in reply to a message by EMB

Ada-it's nice, but I don't like it as a stand alone name. Alida-pretty! I never knew this was a name! I'd pronounce it ah-LEE-da, not sure if that's right. Aloisia-Aloysius is one of the snottiest names around, imo, and Aloisia isn't much better. Theda-feels heavy and dull. Not a fan. Thora-I love it! It's so much more interesting than Cora. Ulla-I'm not sure how I feel. Meh, probably. May I just say that your daughter's name is gorgeous? Amalia has been a favorite name of mind since I was a child wearing my little Amalia jacket, and it's exciting to see someone using it. The only Amalia I've ever met was an old woman and the only one I'd ever heard of besides her was the queen.
