[Opinions] Re: Loretta
I like Loretta with Matilda and Rosemary. It grounds them a little.Anyway I think Loretta's really pretty and would consider it for a kid. plus I like all the media associated with it (Life of Brian, "Get Back" by the Beatles, and this townes van zandt song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPV7s4xHUi0 )

Great song! I also like that the name is well known but not often used. I just don't want it to come across as too "hipster" if you know what I mean cause hipsters we are not :)

I'm not a hipster at all either, but I just love hipster names! And I'm not afraid to admit it.

heh. I get much more of a hipster vibe from Matilda than Loretta. Although when I think about hipsters, I think of someone who doesn't want to seem like a hipster. :P

Loretta is more "hickster" or Rockabilly or... something. Both Rosemary and Matilda are more hipster to me, too. Which is ok by me. I don't really know what a hipster is, whenever I think of hipsters I kind of picture a disembodied pair of Buddy Holly glasses and that's it.

Hipsters are into things they consider cool until they become popular. Once they become popular they stop liking them. Hipsters are very common to Portland and Seattle. Many also go to the college I went to. Matilda and Rosemary do seem a bit hipsterish. But they are too popular to actually be liked by hipsters. Hipsters are likely to have a son or daughter named Kestrel or something along those lines. I like things that hipsters like but I keep on liking them even if they become popular. There needs to be a term for people who like hipster style things but don't care if they are or are not popular.Loretta seems very rockabilly to me. Though some hipsters like rockabilly. Loretta is a very popular name in the South or at least it use to be. It is also very popular in Greece and Italy or at least it use to be. Most people assume my mother is Greek since she has a roman nose and very curly dark brown hair and is short. We even have had a couple of different Greek people ask if she was of Greek orgin since her name is Loretta and she looks Greek. She is actually half Mexican and get's her Roman nose from her father's side of the family who were mostly French.

lol, I love the Buddy Holly glasses reference. We don't see ourselves as hipsters we just like old-fashioned sounding names that aren't very common.
