Help[Opinions] Re: Some new faves for you to rate and a pronunciation question
in reply to a message by Lily
Julie - I'm the opposite: I much prefer Julia. Julia seems deep to me somehow, while Julie sounds shallow. I don't think Julie is ready for a comeback or will be for a long time, not with Julia, Juliet, and Juliana at center stage getting all the attention of modern parents.
Robin - I do prefer Robin as a nickname for Robert, but I like bird names quite a bit, so I like Robin for a girl. I don't like Robyn, either, and I think people might occasionally assume Robyn instead of Robin, but it won't be a daily thing.
Carrie - As a nickname for Caroline, Carolyn, or Carol, then yes. By itself, no. It sounds babyish.
Mary - Beautiful, stately, and strong. Mary deserves all the love she can get.
Melissa - I've always liked this name. I recently met a baby Melissa, and I was delighted. It was very fresh and surprising on a baby.
Jessie - Much worse than Carrie. I like Jessica and Jesse (b), but Jessie (g) is not substantial enough to stand on its own.
James - It's grown on me, too. I agree...no nickname. James in full is handsome and loaded with charm.
I'm in the US, and I pronounce Carrie and Kerry and Aron/Aaron/Erin the same.
