[Opinions] Re: Griselda
Sorry, I see the appeal, it's a good name on paper and all, sort of subversive or whatever. But I would absolutely not want to be named Griselda. Even if I came from a family that had genes for carrying it off. I'd want to be spared from it. Plain old Zelda is okay, and Zelda Rose is fine, I don't think I can beat it.

man, that's the frustrating thing, it doesn't feel subversive to me, I just think it is absolutely beautiful, some silvering oak tree in a dark woods, something old and woody and meditative. I wish people liked it, I don't feel like making an enormous societal statement every time I admit my favorite name is Griselda. I do like Zelda on its own a lot but something about it coming from Griselda makes it so much more deep and powerful to me. Zelda is so exuberant and Griselda is so pensive. Having the power of both identities is really impressive to me right now. *sigh* good thing i'm not naming kids for a while
