[Opinions] Re: Marcy, Bennett, and Addison
in reply to a message by Ismene
I love Marcy as a nickname for Marcella. It's just very nice and happy. I'd imagine she'd be a very creative and smiley person.
Bennett is not my favorite Ben name. It's lacking in substance IMO. Not awful, but not the best way to get to Ben. My personal favorite is Benedict nn Ben, but I understand that's too strong for some. Benaiah? Bernard? I know someone named Benoit (ben-WAH) but I think it's kind of ugly. Reuben might work, might be a stretch.
I don't really like Addison for either gender. The two D's make it kind of heavy in comparison to, say, Allison or Madison, which both look more balanced.
