Re: This or that and why!
in reply to a message by September Josephine
Rhea - I'm a sucker for an ancient Greek vibe
Piper - it's cute, and I don't like any of the nns for Patricia
Kelani - Kelli is far too cutesy for me
Imani - Isabella is nice, but Bella is overused and I hate Izzy
Josephine - Jayna sounds nice but dated, Josephine is a family name for me
Fiona or Freyja - don't know, I like them both
Makenna or Makenzie - neither, I can't get over the "son of" meanings
Magdalena - Masha doesn't sound like a people name
*****
And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
