[Opinions] Re: Be a doll, and rate these names. (m)
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
Ain't never been no doll, but I'll try!
Winona. I've always loved it; never met one, and no clue how it's seen in its natural habitat, but I think it's great.
Iris. With Daisy, though not in the same sibset, the only flower name(s) I'd feel comfortable using.
Bess, but only as a nn for Elizabeth or Beatrice - a friend of my mother's called her Bess rather than Bea.
Kirsten. Lovely once, then it went spectacularly viral and disappeared just as suddenly.
Lorena. It could, and would have to, shorten to something close to Laura.
Velma. Awful; Thelma is nice.
Rory. Great on a boy; on a girl, unspeakably horrible.
Benedict. Shortens obligingly to Ben; fresher than Benjamin.
Axel. Pleasantly Scandi.
And all the others jostle each other for last place.
