[Opinions] Re: Names I’ve come across
in reply to a message by peregrine
Interesting, certainly, but very few are appealing IMO. Beatrice, certainly - my mother and my daughter! - and Eloise. Constance and Francesca are OK, and so would Joanna have been. Moya is a blast from the past, and so is Nellie. On a remote branch of my family tree, someone was born in about 1900 and named Nellie; her younger brother grew up, married, and named his daughter Veronica Nellie, which is loyal but not lovely. I'm interested to see a contemporary Reginald. Starin seems unfortunate.

Beatrice is a lovely name! I’ve definitely come across a surprising amount of Gen-Z Reginalds
