Help[Opinions] Re: Echo
in reply to a message by Canielle
They're both car models! Like Nova and Camry would be. I'd get a kick out of it if my sibling and I both had car model names.
Echo is dependable except for being hazardously lightweight, and Eureka is harsh seeming but sporty...as cars. Beyond that, I associate both of them with California, because Eureka is a town there plus the first time I encountered Echo as a modern name was while reading a YA book in which the main character was named Echo (all I remember is that she was a miserable teenager, lived in California, and coped by habitually binging on tacos in the middle of the night)...they seem wacky to me but kind of in a cliche yuppie west coast way? Because superficially they seem like they could have been Sage and River or Aspen and Canyon except those weren't classical or avante garde enough.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I prefer Eureka to Echo. Maybe because it's wild yet seems about like Erika. I feel like Hero or Halcyon or Experience would have fit better with it. But I should probably just be glad they didn't pick Evidence or Epic.
