[Opinions] Re: Names of 16th century French prostitutes
in reply to a message by ari.
I feel like most of those (and similarly, Lorenza, Magdalene, Madelaine, Perrine) wouldn't stand out that much nowadays (though I don't know about in France specifically); Janseranda seems the weirdest. I like Peyrinne, Magdalaine, and Laurensa as much or more than alternate spellings plus more than Blanca, but I know a Blanca, and it's not bad... Astrugus, Mondette, and Tuffayna were ones from the link that jumped out to me. I imagine Tuffayna is basically Tiffany (somewhere between that and Theophania), but I would still like to meet one.
