I think it has more of an interesting sound than an obviously attractive one. But, I also think it has a sound that doesn't wear on you and lasts well which is more important. Like while I might agree with people who think "
Liliana" or "
Isabella" has an attractive sound, both of those names grate on me over time.
I've actually never met an
Ethel, but I feel like it would last well. I enjoy saying/hearing it.
