Help[Opinions] Re: Emma?
in reply to a message by augustbugx
Ugh I so wish my name wasn't Emma. Everyone's image of Emma is of some little elegant english girl and I am rather tall and forthright and stompy.
You seem to have plenty of feedback (I haven't read the responses) so I will say this, which would be irrelevant if you aren't naming anyone: I would really dislike having many of these names. I would be okay with Violet, Rebecca, Scarlet, and Serafina, though those are pushing it; the rest I would be immensely resentful of. Who the hell did my parents think I was going to be? I would think, and glower.
They named me Emma Tippins, for chrissake. Who the hell did they think I was going to be? Any expectations they had for me based on my name I vehemently defied as soon as I got old enough to sin. Luckily I don't think they actually had any solid expectations, but still I can't help being the eensiest bit resentful that I, as a namenerd, chafe so strongly against the image my name presents.
So what I'm saying is: don't name your kid any of these names if you want her to be cool. :)
