[Opinions] Re: Some girls names...
Alexandra - dynamic and statuesque yet unadventurous. Has a grounding effect in combos and a couple easy NNs. Has innate flair, although that's very muted by familiarity. Blends in so well it's almost like part of the architecture.Angela - sugar & spice, Renaissance still life or 70s soft rock. Mundane kind of the way Laura is except more angelic plus Angie is sassy. I think I prefer it as a NN for Mariangela or Michelangela, but I'd not assume it was.Hester - gnarly, texturized, breezy, cloying, stylized in a way that could be antique-chic but could be garish and oblivious. Works with classics like Anne but would be really interesting to see paired with modern fads like Oakley or Nevaeh or with quirky obscure historical names.Willow - billowy, nurturing but severe. Makes classic names seem more modern and free-spirited in combos and is weighty enough to work with them, makes fad names more approachable and organic seeming.I don't dislike any of them.
