It has a weird, rocking-horse type sound to it, and a cutesy feeling, and it's the name of my least favorite American Girl character. (The doll is beautiful.) The character was this colonial-era tomboy who was just too Mary Sue to be believed, and you got the feeling that if you went to school with her today, she'd be the one who was always disrupting class to argue with the teacher and would get meeker kids to do dangerous or obnoxious things.
