[Opinions] BA and more
To parents Andrew and Keisha: Torvi Sailor, a sister for Konrad Anchor. This is just an acquaintance so feel free to be honest.Also, my best friend's brother and his wife have been considering having a baby. For a girl, they are thinking Betti. WDYT? Personally, I think it's horrid.

Both Torvi Sailor and Konrad Anchor are horrid. I don't like the naval theme, Konrad is NMS, and Torvi sounds ugly and masculine.
I also think Betti is horrid - why don't they just go with Elizabeth?

Torvi is very silly to me as it means "horn" (instrument) and "stupid person" in Finnish (the latter only in colloquial language). Konrad is nice, but I'm not keen on their naval middle names.I prefer Betty to Betti, and I only like it as a nickname.

Torvi is kinda cute? And sounds nice with Konrad. Very on theme with the MNs, though. What'll they use if they have a third one? Harbor? Does the family have some kind of nautical connection? Because the theming seems extra odd if not.Besides being so themey... Sailor doesn't feel like a girl's name to me, and Anchor doesn't feel like a name at all.I'm never fond of nicknames as full names, especially cutesy ones. But I'd take Betty as a full name far rather than Betti. Honestly despite being cutesy I can't even picture it on a child, just like... a sixty years old secretary.

The sibset makes me feel seasick. What the hell's Torvi anyway? A brand of boat? Like the kind of boat you'd use a Konrad anchor on and an Evinrude motor?
Betty is cute, in a grandma way. But it's awfully cutesy spelled with an i. She'll have to keep spelling it for people and explaining that no, it's not Elizabeth.
