HelpRe: Names we never warmed up to... why do you love / like them?
in reply to a message by Melody02
Cordelia: I think it's beautiful - a rich, emerald green. It makes me think of the Shakespearean heroine and Anne of Green Gables (so I think Anne Cordelia would be a lovely combo).
Josephine: very distinguished and respectable, though I'm not terribly fond of the nicknames.
Henry: also distinguished, feels serious and vaguely medieval. I really like Hal as a nickname.
Penelope: it's very fun to say. pə-NEL-ə-pee. Just a fun, cheerful sound. I don't usually like stretchy nicknames, but I'm quite fond of Nell or Poppy as NNs for Penelope.
Octavia: adventurous, with the unusual Os and Vs. Strong and urbane (?), which I feel few feminine names are.
