Help[Opinions] Re: Olivia or Vanessa?
in reply to a message by oceanorchid
Vanessa IS dated for me, but I'm middle aged, so it's a name from my generation. It feels similar to Sabrina and Clarissa and Amanda - technically older names, but inextricably linked with the 80s or 90s. I wonder if the "mean girl" stuff is from a residual memory of The Little Mermaid: Vanessa was the name Ursula used to trick Prince Eric into marrying her.
Olivia is pretty, but I admit that I find Vanessa more interesting at this point. It has more personality. It does have a hefty dose of soap opera drama queen to it, and I have to support that. The datedness of it actually works in its favour here, gives it more heart and soul than Olivia.
