Help[Opinions] Re: Some new faves for you to rate and a pronunciation question
in reply to a message by Lily
Julie - It's OK, but very dated to me. My Mum has at least 5 acquaintances called Julie - all about the same age - so I find it hard to imagine it on a different age group. It could be a nice nickname, I would use it as a nickname for Juliet.
Robin - I don't really like it on a girl, but I still prefer this spelling over the Y spelling. I suppose it depends how common the Y spelling is in your area. Where I live both names are unusual so I think people would spell it like the boys name originally.
Carrie - Could work on it's own. Nicknamey names are getting common (here at least) like Lily and Evie, so I don't see why Carrie would be any different. However, I do prefer Caroline with the nickname Carrie. I pronounce Carrie and Kerry differently - Carrie with an "ah" sound and Kerry with an "eh" sound, like they're spelt - but I don't live in the US
Mary - I find it rather dull I'm afraid.
Melissa - OK but nothing special for me. It's just alright.
Jessie - Again, if other nicknames can work I don't see why Jessie is any different. It's very cute! I would prefer Jessamine with the nickname Jessie though.
James - Very nice
Do you pronounce Aron and Aaron the same? How about Aron, Aaron and Erin? Do you live in the US? I pronounce Aron and Aaron the same (ah-ron) and Erin differently (eh-rin), but I don't live in teh US, Ilive in the UK.
