[Opinions] Re: Billie
in reply to a message by A
Billie is a new love for me.
I never liked Billy for a boy - and definitely not for a man, even with a namesake like Billy the Kid (bada$$ Old West outlaw). It always seemed... childish. So I never even used to think about Billie for a girl / woman, despite namesakes such as Billie Holiday or Billie Jean King.
Maybe the actress Billie Piper (Rose Tyler on Doctor Who) had something to do with it. I also heard it used in a couple TV shows. But somehow... Billie as a feminine name became very palatable. Even cool. Now I have Billie Charlotte as a combo in my Top 10!
