Help[Opinions] Re: Tv programme names
in reply to a message by Canielle
Lots of nicknames/short forms.
Kam - eron? Why not Cameron? Late example of the (formerly) fashionable K
Manjinder - no context; no comment
Kia - prefer Christina
Tia - Maria? I hope it's short for Tatiana
Cilla - short for Cecilia, it seems; I've seen it as a nn for Priscilla. Quite pleasant, either way
Germaine - pleasant with French pronunciation, but not otherwise
Melody - awful. Really not suitable at all.
Zarina - meaning is OK, but I'd prefer Zarine
Carina - as a Southern Hemisphere person, I always think of the constellation; Keel is a good enough meaning, but in spite of the nasty meme, I do prefer Karen (with German/Scandinavian pronunciation)
Wade - in the sea?
Fitz - of whom? Likely to be misheard as Fritz.
Butler - oh dear. Not a familiar profession, and therefore surely rather dated as a given name; probably just another lnfn, though
Huey - Dewey and Louie. I'm very fond of Hugo and Hugh, but this version, no.
