Help[Opinions] Re: Opinion on these names?
in reply to a message by Moony2
I think people on polls are thinking about names as names for babies or characters, and people have an image of these names as the names of average middle-aged women. So they can't so easily imagine them as names full of potential and glamor, which is how most people seem to like baby names to be.
I really like the name Sandra. I'd take that name. I'd use it for a daughter, too - except that I wouldn't want her to have to deal with people saying it's a grandma name.
Denise is a nice name, I've met several lovely Denises. But I rarely love names with second-syllable stress. It's not a favorite.
Carrie ... heh, that was my favorite name when I was about six. It's got a comforting vibe about it, for me. Caring... I don't like it so much anymore. It's okay, but feels a bit staid and old-fashioned. I'd rather see Kerry as a full name (sounds the same in my accent), or Cari / Cary as a nickname for Caroline.
