[Opinions] Re: Frances
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
I like Frances on a girl, but I prefer Francesca or Francine. Francis is my favorite boys' name.
Pippin probably reminds most people of Tolkein, although personally I always think of the musical. Either way, I can't see it as a girl's name. How about Penelope with the nickname Pippi?
Patient would spend her whole life introducing herself as "Patient... no, not Patience..."
Molly is nice, but I like it better as a nickname for Mary, although that seems to have gone out of style.
I like Morrigan, but I'm not sure about Morriganne. Is it supposed to be pronounced MOR-i-gan or mor-i-GAN? The "-anne" ending makes me want to put the emphasis on the last syllable.
