[Opinions] Re: Princesses in "Damsel"
in reply to a message by Kinola
How's the book? I loved the movie, despite it's obvious flaws. When she's in the cave finding the names is a great scene.
Anna: Simple but I absolutely love this name. I have been known to favor a name if it has an -anna- sound in it somewhere.
Yoojin: Pretty but a little close to Eugene in my accent.
Fatima: Want to like it. Can't get over the first half.
Minna: Oh, I adore thee. I wrote a story where the girl was called minnow affectionately when she was young. Minna is very sweet.
Yulia: Worse than Julia.
Thanh: I know A LOT of women with this name. Like... so many. And they're all so different that it leaves me with a confused impression of the name.
Camila: Prefer Camilla by a long shot but still gorgeous. I hate that it's getting more popular. I only just started liking it.
Sophie: Long-time favorite of mine. The popularity has made me sad.
Charlene: Knew a girl in middle school with this name. Char- is an ugly sound to me. -lene isn't my favorite either, actually.
Rania: ran-ee-uh? rain-ee-uh? rohn-ya? I'm unsure.
Lizaveta: Oh, this one if fun. Reminds me of cheese though.
Ailing: Poor Ailing is failing.
Audrey: LOVE. She's so delicately feisty. Is that possible? I don't know. I think of the slight Audrey Hepburn being a total badass in history.
Shira: Not bad but I associate it with rich blonde women who put down others.
Amira: Very pretty. Maybe a little Bostonian saying, "a mirror" but, y'know... whatever.
Beatrice: Really love it when it's pronounced baya-triss.
Mayumi: Mm. It's okay. I like May. Not sold on umi.
Rashmi: Can't say I'd want a name with the word rash so boldly in front.
Eline: Sounds weak. I'm surprised you made it to the cave, Eline.
Victoria: I used to like this name but then I met a woman who hated dogs with this name. How can you hate dogs? Anyway, I worked with her for years and it deteriorated quickly so she's definitely soured the name for me. Vicki/y is a terrible nickname, too.
