[Opinions] Re: Sibset
in reply to a message by Nia
Amy Margaret is surprisingly hard to pronounce, and I don't enjoy Amy or Monroe as a given name. Margaret is good, though.Anne ... well, I must declare my interest! I'm sure I'd like it a lot, even if it hadn't been mine. Susan lacks pizazz, but the rhythm of the three together is fine, which it wouldn't have been if Susan had been replaced by, say, Susannah, Suzanne or Suzette; plus, both Susannah and Suzanne, though I prefer them to Susan, have such prominent Anne sounds that they wouldn't work. Eleanor is timelessly beautiful.

Yes, Anne Suzanne would be quite silly!I don't like Monroe either. I assume it's honouring, but I don't know.
