Help[Opinions] lol!
in reply to a message by Bear
I loved the "it means gray-haired battle maiden, let's say that again!" I love the enthusiasm.
I myself am really entering a phase of loving stereotypical "Witch" names, like Agatha, Griselda, Ursula, Wanda etc. I adore them. So Griselda is a thumbs up.
I'm not sure what the whole meaning behind it is all about. Maybe, since the name is Germanic, they really mean "silver-haired", like the white-blonde hair of many young Germanic women? Or maybe it is a reference to a kind of terrible hag-like amazon, like the Valkyries, who were beautiful women who took the souls of warriors. I for sure get a kind of "battle-crazed witch of fury" feeling from it. Maybe her hair is grey from the ashes of burning corpseeeessss.
Combos!
Griselda Georgiana
This is tough, Griselda makes any other name look wimpy
Griselda Helene
Griselda Hendrika
Griselda Henriette
Griselda Johanna

Griselda Demelza! Now you're cooking with gas. :-D
Yay, another one who "gets" Griselda's kooky charm. And the other names you list as witchy -- I think of them as "my" ugly ducklings. They need me. No one else will love them but me. And now here you love them too. OK, I'll share. Imagine a real sister set of Agatha, Griselda and Ursula. People would need smelling salts, but boy would it be worth it.
Combo heaven:
Griselda Helene (so elegant)
Griselda Hendrika (you will stand at attention!)
Griselda Johanna (dignified, elder stateswoman)
Griselda Fleur (dangerously romantic)
Griselda Celeste (hey -- this one could actually pass in the real world)
It's good to know that someone else appreciates Griselda.
