[Opinions] Re: How much does your accent influence your favourite name choices?
My accent does rain on my parade sometimes.Where I'm from, Ts are often turned into Ds. A lot of the names that sound really pretty in their original British English - like Lottie, Leticia or Letty, Felicity, Amity - get turned into a plodding, clumsy mess in my accent, because nobody would pronounce the T. One of my great great grandmothers was called Lottie, and I love that, but if I used it, it would get turned into Loddie. If I insisted on that sharp T sound, I'd come across as an insufferable snob. I'm trying to train myself to appreciate "Loddie", but it's not easy. Maybe I should work on embracing a reputation as an insufferable snob.
