[Opinions] Re: Estella, Phoebe, and Phyllis
in reply to a message by Kate
Estella -- A little on the frilly side, but the "Great Expectations" connection gives is an additional boost in my mind.
Phoebe -- I used to not like it. It reminded me of a buzzing bee. But it combines so well with other names that I began to come around. I like it now. But I don't love it.
Phyllis -- I wish I could like Phyllis, if for no other reason than she is likely to be a wall-flower for most people. But Phyllis makes me think of a filly (if I'm spelling that correctly), a young female horse. I love other "phil" names like Phyllida, Philomena, Philippa.
