Help[Opinions] Re: Julienne?
in reply to a message by Arcadia
This name bothers me, partly because of the connection to the dicing of vegetables and also because it sounds like Julian, which I love for a boy. Oddly enough, Adrienne for a girl does not bother me, though I prefer Adrian for a boy. Either way, I'd rather see Julienne on a girl than Julian or Julien, but I greatly prefer Julia, Julianne, Juliet, Juliana, etc.
I know two girls named Jorie (this spelling), one as a full name (she's in her 30s) and one as a nn for Marjorie (she's in her teens), so it seems a bit more feminine to me. But I wouldn't greatly mind meeting a little boy named Jory by any means. :) It does seem nn-y to me, but I'm not sure what for. Jordan maybe?
ETA: Just realized Jory is a form of George so I guess it could be a nn for that. Kinda cute. :b As for "Children of Men"--it bothered me that her name was Julian and spelled that way. :-/
