Re: Rip my girls' names to shreds
in reply to a message by Ottilie
1. Romilly - I don't like it, but seeing as it's number 1, it's unlikely to chage so I won't go there!
2. Josephine - I like this, especially with the nn Josie. I also really like Josiane or Josie Anne / Ann, but that may just be my -anne phase
3. Viola - it feels unfinished to me, but I prefer it to Violet
4. Wilhelmina - If I burdened a child with this, I would simply call them Billie all the time, which is losing it's charm for me so... yuck.
5. Ianthe - lovely :)
6. Margot - also lovely :)
7. Guinevere - so severe, I can't imagine anyone under the age of 50. Very stern
8. Frances - So boring. I have never liked this name.
9. Edith - yeuch. Don't like it. I know many people do, I am just not one of them.
10. Cecily - I would prefer Celia or Cicely, but I'll take Cecily as it's here.
