HelpRe: Names we never warmed up to... why do you love / like them?
in reply to a message by Martha
Hannah and Sarah are soft and feminine, strong, comforting, grounding, wholesome. Breezy enough to be little girls, but respectable enough to be someone's pioneer ancestor. I can see how one would find them bland and square, though. I feel that way about Anne and Leah.
I feel like Abigail is kinda the new Deborah ... old testament chic. I only like it because I like Gail a lot. Not feeling Abby.
I think Belinda is a poetic seeming name, smacks of 'belle' and 'linda' = pretty. It's like Bonita only less Hispanic. A little bit in the same spirit as Colleen, maybe.

Abigail is the new Deborah. I never thought about it but I think you're absolutely right. Wow! I can't imagine Abby ever sounding as dated as Debbie but it will!
