[Opinions] Re: BA - of sorts
in reply to a message by kudriashkajo
Happy birthday!
If I'd married your dad, I'd have held out for Josephine Rachael! Jodi appeals to me less than Josie, especially since there was a F1 racing driver called Jodie in South Africa some years ago, so Jodi has a male aura for me. And the Rae adds to the issue by sounding like the Afrikaans for ... well, 'drive', but if you yell it out during a motor race, it has the effect of 'Ride 'im, cowboy!'
I don't enjoy capital letters in the middle of names. Rather Rosemary than RoseMary, for instance. So I'd have used Jodi-Rae.
