[Opinions] Re: Judy
in reply to a message by Martha
Judy and Patty would be like time travel - Back to the Fifties!
I really don't warm up to Judy, not even slightly: trite rather than cute. (I like Ditte, though!) But I don't enjoy Julie and Julia either, though Juliet's fine as a mn. I do like Judith a lot - it has stature and dignity, and energy as well. But it would take more will power than most folks seem to have, to avoid the nn. Like Abigail becoming Abby and Deborah becoming Debby and Rebecca ... you get the picture.
