[Opinions] Re: Geneva
Haha, that's funny when considered alongside the Anne Rice character. Hard to believe the author wasn't aware of it, especially since it was a title character.
But now that I think of it, the surnaminess just seems like another reason to think it'll show up on girls in real life. I dunno, it never sounded posh to me as a surname - dog food company, Elephant Man. Guess it might seem that way "back east" since it's the name of a town - so there's probably an old family.- mirfak

Merrick and Redcliffe were the last names of (fictional or real life idk) old families on the East Coast in the book. Now I'm kind of ashamed of myself for being attracted to Merrick. I really do have to fight my pretentious instinct pretty hard.

So move to the west coast? haha. I don't think it's pretentious-seeming here.
Maybe someone disagrees ... dunno. Nobody has called it pretentious in the comments, yet.
