Help[Opinions] Re: Youtuber Family Sib set: Zay, Anthony, Luke, Isabella and Bella
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Zay is ... what? Male, female, just an initial with two letters tacked on?
Anthony is an excellent name, but I'd use Antony rather than risk people pronouncing -th- as in thistle.
Isabella Abigail will never be able to lie about her age! She should have been told, in advance, to stay away from biological-family names. Or, encouraged to choose Abigail Isabella instead. She was right to shed the awful Skylar, like a bird without a tail.
Luke is an all-right name I suppose, but having once met a very young one who was known as Pukey Lukey, I've cooled towards it considerably.
Bella. There are two 19th-century Bella people on my family tree; at least one of them was an Isabella who went by her nn. We adopted a very pretty Schnauzer and named her Bella-Bark; unfortunately she was permanently traumatised and couldn't be reassured. She ran away if anyone held or touched a broom, a spade, a rake, a feather-duster ... and one day she was so terrified by a garden spade that she jumped a very high fence, ran into the rush-hour traffic, and died. Very sad story in so many ways.
I might have chosen to be Alice or Lucy if I'd been adopted. If I could have chosen my own name while remaining in my own family, I'd have become Cecily Beatrice after my parents, or possibly Cecily Beatrice Anne.
