Re: Andy Rose
in reply to a message by Billina
Why not Andrea Rose, one wonders. Then they could call her Andy all they liked, avoid the silly sound in official contexts (Do you take this woman Andy Rose to be your ... - anyone might mutter an excuse and run for it!) and avoid sibling discordance.
And since Rose is a pretty ordinary ln, most people hearing Andy Rose would probably assume that it was Mr Andrew Rose. Not the worst thing that's ever happened, but so easy to avoid.
Come to think of it, Andy could be an alternative nn for Amanda or even Miranda. Oh well, they didn't think of it so Pearl Clementine has the distinction of two conventionally female, conventionally conventional names. Unless she's a he. Anything's possible.
