HelpRe: Names we never warmed up to... why do you love / like them?
in reply to a message by Martha
Evelyn - I love how soft this is and how it rolls off the tongue. I'm quite surprised you dislike it because to me it's a bit similar to Oliver in sound. But then again there are many names I love that I'd completely dislike if I just changed one letter.
Lillian - I dislike this as well, it seems clumsy to me. It's odd because Lily has been my favorite for ages. Lilian looks much better to me but as it is not as established it would be annoying to correct people all of the time (also it's a boys name in France).
Sarah - I used to dislike it but there is something warm and classic about it that I like now. I imagine a woman in a bonnet serving hot soup to her family. I love Sara because of "A Little Princess".
Hannah - similar to Sarah (image) and fun to say.
Abigail - I dislike Abbie but I love the friendly witchiness of Abigail.
Lucy - gives me carefree childhood in the english countryside vibes.
Belinda - not a fan so I can't help with this one ;)
Michael - I sort of like it since "Peter Pan" I guess because it gives me a nostalgic/childhood feeling and there was a Michael in "Mary Poppins" too. So I sort of like the full name but dislike Mike.
The others I also dislike.
