Help[Opinions] Re: Cleveland and Dorothy
in reply to a message by HB
Dorothy doesn't seem very surprising, at least not in some places. I like it.
Cleveland, though ... I would have thought it's too associated with the city, now, for people to think of using it. Unless it's a name in their family, I guess. Surprising to me. I'd be less surprised by Clive.
Can't say Cleveland is really my style at all. Cleve would sound about as self-consciously antique on a child, as Clive would. About 1/3 more so than Dorothy does, I guess. Heh

Ditto. I can see Dorothy, I can't really see Cleveland. I wish I had caught the name of the third sibling.
I've come across three young Clives. According to Rachel Shania I've met met like 2/3 of them. I also came across a kid named Grover.
But Cleveland really takes the cake. Another sister could be Brunhilde.
