Help[Opinions] Perdita
Aside from the unfortunate etymology how do you feel about this name? I like it in terms of the Shakespeare association tbh though most people probably only associated it with 101 Dalmatians. I think if Imogen can return I think Perdita should get a chance in the sun as well, to me it's dignified, & delicate yet strong. WDYT?
Also: which to you are the most usable of the female Shakespearen names? I'd list my favorites here but there are more that I like than dislike so it'd take all day XD
Please rate my "Names I would use" list if you have a spare moment, feel free to rate other lists too if you want but ik there's a lot, thank you :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/223226/138473

Love it! It’s been on my list for a while. “Lost” doesn’t necessarily have to be negative. There’s a bit of romance in the idea of being lost, as long as it’s temporary. I could see there being a cute story behind it.

I do too! It just makes me think of nimble feminine strength, like a bird

It’s pretty cool but I only think of 101 Dalmatians.

that's fair

that's a good way to think of it!

Perdita does sound pretty, it reminds me of a glamourous movie star but it actually means lost.
:(
I love 101 Dalmatians, so that was my immediate association, which is good but she's also a dog. I also grew up watching a PBS Kids animated show called George Shrinks about a doll sized boy named George living with his normal height family. George's mom is named Perdita.

I've met two Perditas IRL. I think the sound is very pretty. The meaning seems sad to me, but that doesn't make it less wearable, just not something I'd use.
I think most of them are usuable. Phoebe, Rosalind, Beatrice, Hippolyta, Miranda, Cleopatra, Octavia, Hermione, Jessica, Olivia, Cassandra are some I like.
