I like it. It's got personality; I can't imagine a boring
Laverne. And while it has quite a girly, delicate sound, the retro feel of it also conjures up a tough old broad with a heart of gold, so it's simultaneously feisty and girly. I'd automatically stick it with something like
Francine or
Gloria, but it would work just as well with, say,
Daisy or
Eleanor.
