[Opinions] Re: Linda
in reply to a message by Lily
I hate it and I feel it's very dated.
This is mostly because of the women I've known named Linda. They're all in their late 40s-50s and they're all really horrible. Seriously, I've never met a single nice woman named Linda. So that's coloring my judgment pretty severely.
The worst was my best friends' mother. She was always a little... odd and at times blatantly mean. She loved to vacuum at odd hours and said the strangest things. When I was older I was told she was an alcoholic and drug abuser plus she sold coke on the side. It made so much sense.
But it really did ruin the name for me. I understand how some wouldn't see it as dated if they didn't know the name personally.
