[Opinions] Re: Names on my mind + potential BA + question!
in reply to a message by Millie
Rita- Very middle-aged, and I want to say it in a whine: "But Reeeeetuh!"
Margaret "Meg"- Margaret is nice and has a ton of nickname potential. I'm not big on Meg.
Mary- Classic. Nothing fantastic about it (aside from the religious association, of course), but nothing at all negative about it either.
Emma- Never liked it, for no good reason. I like Emily, Emilia, and Emmy, but Emma just doesn't do it for me.
Stanley- Sweet on an old man or a teddy bear, too nerdy on a child.
Kian- I like it. I like Cian too, but others may confuse it with Cain. I don't like Kean.
Keenan- will forever remind me of Kenan & Kel.
Caleb- A nice biblical classic that isn't as popular as others.
Zelda- Congrats to your family, but Zelda in real life is definitely going to get some funny looks. A lot of the younger generations probably associate with the video game character. While it's NMS, I've seen worse.
Of Rose and Alexandra, I like Alexandra (and love the nn Allie). Rose is fine, but I prefer it as a nn for a longer name (preferably Rosalie or Rosaline). How about Alexandra Rose, nn Allie and occasionally called Allie Rose?
