Help[Opinions] Re: Novalee
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
I suspect that the feeling that Novalee has more "substance" is mostly from its association with the particular character in the book and film, but also perhaps a bit from its being three syllables instead of two.

That could be it. However, I can picture Novalee on a person an not cringe, and then picture someone with the name Haeleigh and think it's trite and contrived. *shrugs* I know a lot of sweet, lovely old ladies with '-lee' names and I'm so interested in their charming monikers. Maybe it's an age and/or time thing. I wonder if Kaeleigh will sound as endearing to me when I'm 70 as Novalee/Siddalee does now?
It will be interesting to see!
