[Opinions] Don't like it.

It's fine for a GP, but on a real person it's no good.I've never been a fan of names along these lines - Faith, Destiny, Heaven, yuck.And it doesn't make me think of the feeling bliss - it makes me think of blisters.

Oh, it makes me think of bliss alright.*suggestive eyebrow waggle*Ahem. While I don't necessarily see Bliss along the lines of Destiny and Heaven, I don't care for it much, either. Partly for the reason I've already, uh, outlined, and also because it sounds less than pleasing to the ears. Too much like piss, really.

*snort*That would make a grand sibset.I don't mind the sound of Bliss that much actually, it's much nicer than the sound of Blythe. But the BL does make it sound very unintellectual to me.On a separate note, I'm really getting into Joy lately and would rather meet one than a Bliss. Bliss kind of implies a sort of insane zealot-us rapture 24/7, while Joy seems more reserved and generally celebratory.

That's trueWhy is it that Bliss makes me uncomfortale, in a stripper-ish kind of way. But I don't get that feeling from Joy at all? I'm sure it's because I'm used to Joy. I knew some growing up. Huh. I shouldn't be so quick to pooh-pooh Bliss. But oh, I'd be so much happier if it were in the mn spot.

I work with a lady named Joy, and she's the complete opposite to her name. Also not very well liked.

Well, um.
I mean.
We are talking about names here and not people. No one expects Rose to be a rose. No one expects Minerva to be the goddess of wisdom. No one expects Frederick to rule with peace. I know a Joy who is perfectly charming.
We are talking about names and the vibes and implications of names, not the people attached to them. It doesn't REALLY matter if you're named Madison or Madeleine.

Just giving my opinion!

LOL I am sorry. My post seemed a bit snarky. :) I did not mean it that way.But I am thinking about this a lot lately. Everything we talk about on here completely doesn't matter IRL at all, it is naming art for the sake of naming art. KWIM? I like it for that actually. And I think attaching names to faces or qualities ruins the joy of naming. It is a lot easier to do this with word names than regular names and I think it is important to remind people.
