Help[Opinions] Re: Names From The Newspaper
in reply to a message by Canielle
Elizabeth and Betty? Sinead and Jeanie? Did they run out of ideas?
I like Anita, Elizabeth, Daisy, Louise, Jeanie.
Sinead would likely face mispronunciation in the Anglosphere, and the Irish seems out of place with the rest.
Tiger Lily is totally out of place. Some part of me likes this name as a guilty pleasure, but it's a pet name or a fictional character name, and definitely doesn't fit with the other names. Could they not have used Lily? Tiger Lily could be a term of endearment for her.

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
- Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
