Help[Opinions] Re: Tv Programme Names
in reply to a message by Canielle
Fleur is asking to be mispronounced; Flora or Florence would be safer.
Clodagh is a favourite. Stop me if you've heard this: I had a Clodagh colleague years ago who said that her parents had been trying out all sorts of names for her, and finally hit on the perfect one. Wrote it down on the back of a piece of paper on which they were starting to make a list of all the places in Ireland they would soon be visiting; they only wrote down one, and then whooshed off to church, gave the paper to the priest who didn't look on both sides, looked on the wrong side and named the baby after an Irish river.
Sonita isn't convincing: could be shoes or tights or underwear.
Medora! You Tarzan?
Warren is too rabbitty.
Randall would be OK but for memories of a student pub and of course the risk of Randy as a nickname.
Pal? Really. Not Paul? My word.
Tej is definitely OK, but not a name I'd ever think of using.
Cayvan is appalling. Half of the world will assume it's Kevin, and the other half will wish it was.
Kash is not a name I'd register. Kash register - get it? So will hundreds of others.
