in reply to a message by Ismene
I'm not a fan of virtue-y names. For me, Promise fits in with Angel, Truth, Honor, Justice, Charity, and the like - all of which I find over-the-top and cheesy. Just my style, I guess. And while I'm being a poop :), Missy is too prissy-sounding for my liking. She sounds like she couldn't every possibly get in a canoe or sleep in a tent.

Really?Just about every Missy I've known has been a total tom-boy.

Aha.You're in Canada, whereas I grew up in the US, close to the South. Missy is a very Southern / Country name around here, so that is what I picture.

That does make more sense. Truth be told, I don't think I have ever known a single Missy, so it's just a stereotype absorbed from wwho-knows-where.

With Missy as a full name or nickname? I've always assumed it was a nickname for Melissa.
