[Opinions] Re: Nelly?
in reply to a message by Kit
Furtado is the first association I have.
Except for her, the name seems like an obsolete antique to me, like Fanny or Patsy, and childish.
I guess it is cute for a child's nickname. Or for a celebrity who benefits from being basically the only youngish person bearing an unusual ugly-chic name. But I think in real life for an average girl or woman it'd be pretty blah as a full name.
I also think of "nervous Nelly," which adds to the "antique" feeling of it.
