[Opinions] Re: Waverley
in reply to a message by Elinor
I don't really like the sound of it, but I do have a certain weakness for pretty much all the names from The Princess Bride. Waverly is Westley and Buttercup's daughter, and so that's what I think of first. (There's also a Waverly in one of Amy Tan's books, but I can't for the life of me think of which one.)
I don't think it sounds pretty, though. Reminds me of Wemberly, actually--Wemberly Worried is a Kevin Henkes children's book. In all, though, it's not that bad.
