Help[Opinions] Re: Tripoli for a girl????
in reply to a message by assumpta
Is she aware of the Tripolitan war? Ask her about the gun boats. The history of that place, saturated with pirates and such, doens't make it a good namesake for me! (Note: I may be passing on any biases my history teacher pounded into my brain. It's how I'm programmed.)
The sound of it isn't half bad, but the country, and the reputation it has in history with relation to the US makes it unsuitable for me.
What about Thea? Tara? Thalia? Or even the popular alternate spelling, Talia? Theadora? Pippa, short for Phillipa tradionally, buy maybe just suggest Pippa? Tricia? Trinidad? Trina?
Tell her it sounds trendy, That it's just another name with a -ly ending, with the y replaces with an i. Or something of the sort...

"-yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often."
