HelpRe: Names I've decided against
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Awww, I like Ophelia; a gorgeous name, sophistication without the pomp and fluff. But then, most literary associations don't dissuade me from liking names (though strangely they have on occasion made me warm to some). I think I prefer Octavia to it, though.
I like Belle. Not enough to use myself, but I think it's sweet, and much nicer than Bella/Isabelle/Isabella etc.
ETA: I just saw what the Belle comment was, and honestly I think that's why I like Belle more than Bella or other similar names; I always forget that it's linked to beauty, despite the Beauty and the Beast association. Honestly, I usually just remember that Belle as being a book-lovin' peasant girl with a good heart.
Belle speaks to me more of inner beauty than outer beauty, I guess. And that's the kind that matters most, isn't it?
