Help[Opinions] Re: Juliet, Cecilia and Caroline
in reply to a message by Millie
Juliet used to be one of my favorites, and I still really enjoy it (though Julia is more practical, imo).
Never liked Cecilia, sorry. It gives me a frilly and whiny impression. I think the shorter Celia is much better. Also, I used to love Cecily, but sometimes I find it too soft now.
Caroline is a name I'm supposed to like, given my tastes, but I cannot shake the snobbish impression I get from it, especially if the bearer doesn't use a nickname (Carrie, Caro, etc.). It's like I immediately envision Caroline Bingley every time I hear the name - even though I had this impression long before I ever read Pride & Prejudice.
As a sibset, these sisters sound quite Victorian.
Edit: I just noticed the last question of the OP. If I had to use only names from songs:
Juliet, like in the OP (though I'm not actually familiar with that song)
Jane ("Jane Says")
Penelope ("Penelope" by Pinback)
Delilah ("Hey There, Delilah")
Lola ("Lola")
Gloria (G-L-O-R-I-A!)
Rhiannon ("Rhiannon")
Roxanne ("Roxanne")
Donna ("Oh, Donna")
&
Jude ("Hey, Jude")
Jonas ("My Name is Jonas")
