Help[Opinions] Re: Griselda
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I think this also depends on pronunciation.
My Sister-in-law (BIL's wife... is that still SIL?)... anyway, her name is Mildred. She is Filipina, and the way his family pronounces her name is actually quite pretty.
When my husband SAYS Griselda, is a fine and lovely name... when I say it, not so much. But, most names with that hard "d" in them don't sound quite as pretty in my accent, whereas names like Mildred, Melinda, Griselda, Imelda, etc. sound beautiful with that Tagalog accent. In fact - One of the reasons that I love Drusilla and Adilet / Adilette is because they sounds so intoxicatingly charming when my husband says them.
Just throwing my two cents in on the Mildred vein of thought.
