[Opinions] Re: Jamesina / Jamesin(e)
in reply to a message by araslanka
A mouthful of frills is hardly a negative, in my mind, haha. I don't have a personal connection to St James as a complete entity, it's more an amalgamation of two separate entities. In any case, I don't much care for it on a girl. I know Jamesina is just James with -ina stuck on the end, but it's at least feminine to me, whereas James is all boy and "saint" has a very snapping sound to it, which is masculine to my ear. Also, Romilly St James would just be two surnames stuck together, really.
Thanks!

Heh, fair enough. If a person likes frills, I can see the appeal of something like Romilly Jamseina.
Is Romilly a surname? I didn't know that... I still like it though. I'd never go for Romilly James, but Romilly St James is an entirely different thing for me :b
