Help[Opinions] Re: comments on these names pls
in reply to a message by karenina19
Vera - It's an old lady name but I like it, it doesn't sound musty. I prefer VERR-a to VEER-a though.
Cassandra - Elegant and mythological while still being very much a "normal person" name.
Kassandra - I go back and forth on whether or not I like this. I definitely prefer Cassandra.
Annie - Very cute and sweet. I like it as a nickname, not a full name.
Narcissa - I suppose I'd call this a GP, I want to like it more but the association with "narcissistic" are too strong.
Viola - Love this. I pronounce it like the flower or the instrument but I've also heard VY-o-la.
Lorraine - I don't like this but I don't know why. I like Loren, Lorien, Lorian, and Raine.
Valentina - Pretty but very dramatic. I don't like how the most obvious nicknames don't match the tone at all, Valentina is so fabulous and OTT but Val and Tina are just meh.
Tatiana - I like this. I think it might be a little dated where I live but it's rare enough that it doesn't feel dated to me.
Martha - I like it, it's old but very sweet and friendly.
Gudrun - Pretty cool, I picture the mythological figure or a tough Norse lady on a boat or a horse.
Olga - This feels like a caricature name to me, maybe because it looks too close to words like "old" and "ugly" in English?
