Help[Opinions] Re: Nameberry BAs
in reply to a message by ari.
Flora May - a bit too floral, but OK. I don't mind May but I do prefer Laura.
Ingrid Helen Beatrice - I'd use Helen happily, and Beatrice is my daughter's fn. Ingrid is a disappointment - I prefer Astrid and especially Sigrid, both of which are more lively and cheerful than bland and boring Ingrid.
Lusine Elise - I prefer Lucy; will people know Lusine has three syllables? Elise is OK.
Trudy Violet - I dislike both, but especially Trudy for being a nn, and the nn for a name I have no time for.
Wilhelmina Fawn - astonishingly bad mix! Wilhelmina is a large, middle-aged lady who snores, and Fawn is eternally youthful.
Willa Elizabeth - Elizabeth is lovely and it needs to be: Willa is pretty drab. Better than Willow, admittedly.
Henry Atticus - how refreshing to see Atticus in the mn slot! Henry bores me, but it's classic and respectable.
Jasper Bellamy - Jasper is bright and cheery; I've only ever known Bellamy as a girl name, but in the mn slot, why now?
