HelpRe: Names I've decided against
in reply to a message by Ottilie
I love Ophelia due to my association of her through Hamlet; for me the intensity of the drama enhances the sadness of her fate, which rather endears the name to me.
For Belle - I usually opt for more formal names for the use of shorter nicknames to be granted upon familiarity with the name bearer. Accordingly, I love the name Belinda, due to my association of it with the Linden Tree -- and of course there is a girl I like who I told can proudly bear this name more aptly than I - if I had to exchange my girlish name for another girlish name (this discussion may have generated with Bruce Jenner's name, of which I know nothing); now of course she prefers that I call her Belinda. She also informed me that her mom nearly named her that but for other reasons assigned a different name.
