[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Ethel?
Oh gross. It's not fresh at all, it's rotten and it smells to high heaven. It's dead now because it deserved to die. Banish it from your mind forever.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

LOL, I pretty much agree with you. Ethel is right up there with Edna in terms of hideousness. It was also the name of my dh's gm. She was a wonderful, spunky lady who got saddled with a bad, bad name.

Perfect descriptionI feel the same way towards Ethel despite the fact that it was the name of one of my Great-Grandmothers. I think of Ethel as one of those bluntly dated, most unnatractive names. It's right up there with the likes of Barbara, Gertrude, Bertha, Gladys, Helga, Peggy and such.
