Thisbe is cute. Corinda sounds suitable for a mean stepsister; Belinda would have been a good choice to.
In Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella," the wicked stepsisters are Calliope and Minerva. I love how these names embody their mother's high hopes for them. Sadly for their mother, Calliope is a far cry from the chief muse with neither eloquence or harmony, and Minerva is quite silly.

Well, Cinderella sounds beautiful in my opinion.

I love the name Thisbe; it's been one of my favorites since I was about 8 or 9.

Thisbee is terrible, corinda not too bad, I prefer Corinne, corinna or carina

Thisbe is delicate and pretty! Corinda seems harsh and resembles a gnawing sound - much more suitable.

I adore Thisbe! I had no idea she was one of the original stepsisters. I think that gives the name panache!

Thisbe sounds like somebody who just got hit in the mouth with a Frisbee.

Hahaha!
That honestly made me laugh. (:

But why would someone who just got hit in the mouth say “Thisbe” or “Frisbee”? Once again, a maddeningly far-fetched response!

I love Thisbe. I'm kinda sad it was used as the name for an ugly stepsister, lol

Omg love it! Solidly 10/10. Corinda is a little boring imo, and my phone wants to auto correct it to corona...Thisbe will always be dope.
