[Opinions] Re: Ethel
in reply to a message by Mareasi
it's "underused" for a very good reason; the reason is that it's uglier than homemade sin. That isn't just my opinion; it's the opinion of the masses both here and in the UK, evidently.
Effie for Ethel doesn't really work unless you're a little kid who pronounces Ethel as Effle. Because that's really what is sounds like.
Florence is kind of pretty but the others suck.
Meredith is not terrible but it definitely doesn't have the same old-lady vibe as the other names. It's very much a 1980's prep school cheerleader type name.
