HelpRe: Girl E Names
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
Elizabeth - I'm a fan. Used it as my daughter's first mn, supposedly after her step-grandmother but mostly for its classic beauty.
Enid - warm and gentle; almost but not quite suited to a girlfriend of Bertie Wooster's.
Evelyn - if and only if it's EEVlin. Then it shortens to Eve, which is also excellent.
Edwina - definitely OK; I quite like Edwin for a boy (once knew a very dishy one)
Elise - pronounced ehLEES here, unless it's Elize, which I prefer.
Ernestine - well, Ernest is a family name though now disused, and it could I suppose become Tina.
Estella and Elena - both remarkable for sheer awfulness. Can't put a pin between them. Stella and Helen are so lovely: why would anyone prefer these two flops?
