HelpRe: Less Than Two Stars
in reply to a message by Howie
disclaimer: these are my quick gut reactions, so hope i don't offend with my honest comments (nothing is meant as nasty) :)
Agatha / Agnes 32% - I don't love agnes, but Agatha is one of my GP's. It isn't very nice-sounding, to be honest, but the soft ending sort of saves it. And I like the way it looks a lot
Verity 33% - this is okay. a bit trendy-seeming which is probably why the low rating, plus "virtue" names aren't overly popular I think (though IMO this is one of the better girls' ones)
Edith* 35% - so fusty. i agree w/ the low rating
Cora* 37% - no idea why this has such a low rating! it's so nice.
Sophronia 38% - i really dislike this one. it comes off so nasal and sounds like an evil stepsister
Mackenzie 27% - i'm just not a fan. i wish it had stayed a boys' name. i much prefer MOST of the LN-as-FN's for boys, and this is no exception. not as bad to me as some others, certainly, but i don't really like it.
Ignatius (middle) 35% - ugh. all i think of is a monk slaving over a manuscript. really, that's all i think of.
Tristram* 37% - Tristan is just so much better in sound (a more decisive-sounding name) that Tristram pales in comparison. It's a bit hard to wrap the tongue around.
Linus / Phineas (middle) 39% - don't like these. Linus just reminds me of the Peanuts character who, while cute, couldn't let go of his blankie (not great association for a future man) and Phineas sounds whiney and so old-fashioned (see Ignatius).
