Help[Opinions] Re: Sally - and some question regarding nickname names
in reply to a message by Lily
I think that Sally and Sarah diverged long ago. I'd be amazed to meet a Sally who had Sarah on her birth certificate! And I find Sally sparkly and feisty; not cutesy at all. And Sally Jane Elise would be glorious.
I dislike all Sam names, male and female. I don't mind the Jess- names but I don't like any of them enough to use.
Penny is like Maggie - a natural progression from Penelope (and of course from Margaret). I've never met a Penny who wasn't a Penelope (or a Pnina) but I've known gazillions of both Sarahs and Sallys, but never a Sarah-known-as-Sally. Ever!
Max, like Sally, has been around long enough to stand alone proudly and convincingly. I prefer Max to all the longer forms and would use it happily.
