Help[Opinions] Re: The Queen’s great grand children
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
GIRLS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Savannah: I would use this for sure.
Isla: Don't like the look or the sound of it. Feels snooty.
Charlotte: Prissy and uptight.
Lilibet: Baby talk put into service as a name out of something, spite maybe?
Mia: Never saw the appeal of it. Sounds like a cat asking to be fed.
Lena: Frumpy, housekeeper's name.
Sienna: This is pretty. I like Sierra better but Sienna has a nice sound to it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOYS:
George: I wouldn't use it for a fn, but it has a friendly, comfortable, reliable vibe to it that's quite strong.
Louis: It's all right, but it annoys me how they are using the French pronunciation for this, so it sounds like Louie, which is a two-bit hoodlum's name circa 1950. He isn't French; it ought to be pronounced like Lewis, as it is in the US.
Archie: Just can't take this seriously. It sounds like Louie's dimwitted pal who is only a hoodlum because he doesn't know when he's being used.
August: Pompous, stuffy. Goes well with Isla.
Lucas: It's okay but I don't really like it. Luke's a bit of an improvement but the sound is too croupy.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Why would *Lilibet be out of "spite"??
1
Lilibet was the late queen's childhood nickname, and Harry adored her. It wasn't spite, I think it was an attempt to name her after the person rather than the monarch.

I think in Britain Louis is pronounced the French way rather than like “Lewis”? I was shocked when I heard that ‘s what he was going to be named because it’s the quintessential French king’s name, but then he’s named after his great grand uncle Louis Mountbatten.
