[Opinions] Re: Everett
in reply to a message by Llewella
1. Benjamin, Margaret, and Everett. I like it. You? - I do! All three seem warm and homey to me.
2. Do you think Margaret and Everett sound too matchy? - I don't. Especially considering she is Meg/Meggie most of the time. Also, having Ben in there too makes it less so. Thirdly, the stress I put on the last syllable in each name is different. The -et is quicker and more abrupt for me for Margaret than the more open 'e' sound in Everett
3. What impression do you get from Everett and what would you think if you met a little one? - I like it. It isn't one I've ever really considered and I've never met one IRL but I'd be excited to. I think it's very handsome and rugged sounding.
4. I see that it's had a big spike in popularity lately (in the US), which doesn't really surprise me. It doesn't really bother me, either, but do you feel like it will continue to get more popular for awhile or hang out in the 100s where it currently is? - I think it will hang out in the 100s. The sound isn't trendy enough for it to climb too much higher, I'd say.
