Help[Opinions] Re: Irene and Sunday
in reply to a message by alice
It's my best friend's favorite name, and when she first told me that I thought 'ewwww, it's an old person's name.' But that was a few years ago, and some of my favorite names now are "old" LOL.
I love the Forsyte Saga (the Masterpiece Theater movie/mini-series remake, aired a few years back). I always assumed her name was spelled differently, like Ireni or Irenie, but it's not (I looked it up, lol). But I think if you spelled it Irene, 99% of people would assume it's prn. like EYE-reen (even though I do think eye-ree-nee is cute). I also started to love the names Jolyon and Fleur after watching TFS. :b
I don't care for Sunday, on either gender. I guess it could work as a mn, but I see it as more feminine than masculine. The only person that comes to mind with the name is a preacher from years back named Billy Sunday, but that was his nn (I'm pretty sure, at least).
