[Opinions] Re: Anastasia and Rebecca
They aren't glaringly different from each other, but Anastasia is glaringly different from Lily.
I really like Rebecca and would use it. It's not the height of fashion right now, like Lily is, but it's one of those names that will never really be unstylish.
Anastasia is okay but has a cold, high-handed vibe to it that I don't care for. Rebecca is very down to earth and Anastasia is hard to relate to. I loved the Anastasia Krupnik series when I was a kid, but that still didn't warm me to the name.
I don't like Lily very much at all. It's too sickly sweet and cutesy, and getting to be a fairly common dog or cat name.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
