[Opinions] Re: Olga
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I prefer Helga, which sounds younger to me and more familiar. That I associate it with Harry Potter probably also helps. I think it's adorable.
But if I try really hard to like Olga, it reminds me a bit of Ursula, which is a long time favorite of mine, so I can maybe see the appeal. To me it's one of those names that'd be defined by whoever I met named it, because I've yet to meet or hear of one IRL; if I met a cool one, potentially I could love it. My main image for it right now, though, is a stern heavyset woman from the Progressive Era who probably was the daughter of impoverished Eastern European immigrants.
I'm surprisingly fond of Olga Hester. It's very in-your-face old lady.
