Help[Opinions] Re: Agrippina
in reply to a message by Pickles
It's one of my favorite names but I think it's best in the middle. I would be excited to see it on someone but would feel bad for a little girl that hated it.

Why is it one of your favorites?

I like the sound of it. I like the sound of the ancient diminutive nickname for it, Agripinilla. I like the old Polish nickname for it, Gryfina(Polish is my native language).
I like the history of it. It's connection to the masculine name Agrippa. And to some of the women who carried it. This includes eastern European princesses who lived where I was born and an early saint.

Gryfina is interesting. Never heard it, before.
Thanks for the cultural context.

Obviously I can't answer for Kirke, but the namesake(s) were very bold women for their time. Not that they didn't make mistakes, but still.
Or, maybe they just like the sound and meaning of the name, IDK.

Sure, I've just never seen someone claim it as a favorite before, so I'm curious.
Are famous namesakes why you like it (do you actually like it)?
