[Opinions] Re: WDYTO this (hypothetical) twinset + a question
in reply to a message by meena
I'm not a fan of Shane, and I'm not sure as to what I think of Nathaniel and Violet together... there is something which doesn't quite gel and I'm not sure what. However, Nathaniel's a nice enough name and I love Violet Francesca an insane amount. I think it's utterly gorgeous.
Funny thing is, I was thinking about Francesca the other day. I can't stand Frances or Fran... Francine? Icky. But I like the Francesca-style versions of the name, and of them Francesca is the most classic and the most immediately identifiable in an Anglophone society. I really think it's acceptable to use it. I mean, I think certain names which sound a bit too out there and exotic - for example, very ethnic sounding African, Asian, Indian names on a transparently Anglo-British child with no links to the country would be a little odd - need careful thinking and reasoning, but names which aren't too difficult to understand, say or spell are fine in my eyes. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of non-Italian Francesca's out there and I think it's perfectly okay to use.
