Help[Opinions] I'm just grateful Hirondelle's in French
in reply to a message by Shurochka
Because the poor girl, if her peers ever found out her mn, would be teased mercilessly if it were Swallow... ew.
To this ignorant English-speaker, Hirondelle actually seems quite pretty. But I wouldn't use it, simply because I know what it means in French, and I wouldn't want that for my daughter even if I were the only one who knew what the name meant.
Petite doesn't have the luxury of having its meaning being unknown to most English-speakers, and appears just as odd to me as it probably would to a French-speaker.
Audrey's lovely, and infinitely better than the trendy Aubrey for a girl imo.
