Help[Opinions] Re: Renesmee
in reply to a message by Amandine
I think the sound is very attractive, and when I first heard/saw it I assumed it was a Hispanic invention or maybe Haitian. I never read the Twilight books or saw the movie so I was a little slow to grasp the connection.
Since the name was created for the book and it wasn't a name till then, it's far too closely associated with Twilight for me to ever consider using it. It's like Khaleesi that way; it was made up for a franchise character and it really dates the giver of it. Especially so with Renesmee since the target audience of Twilight was much younger than the target audience for Game of Thrones.
I don't like Esmeree at all, and I hate Esmee. But I do like Renee and would like to see it used more as a fn, it's always seemed more popular as a mn.
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!
