Help[Opinions] Re: Twins?
in reply to a message by eLLe
I have something of a weakness for Desiree, which looks and sounds very pretty--it's just the meaning that makes it utterly unusable. That and the fact that there are several girls named Desiree / Desirae running around the area.
I really dislike Lourdes. I never know how to pronunce it, and it kind of annoys me that people use it without paying any attention to the name's significance. I'd use Bernadette instead, since that's not so trendy, has an upfront pronunciation, and is still associated with the same things as Lourdes. (St. Bernadette saw visions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes, and her name has the benefit of having no ties to Madonna.)
