[Opinions] Re: Maisie, Aggie, and Frankie (m)
in reply to a message by Billina
Aggie is kind of cute yet not too frivolous. Enough like Maggie that it could grow on me if I knew one. Though slightly ruined by my having been exposed to Texas A&M (and other ag universities) being called "Aggies."
Maisie is Mazey ... sticky-saccharine, sloppy farmgirl, from-a-twee-book name.
Frankie isn't a name I've ever seen as a woman's name until the 2000s (and even then, as a film character). If I had ever seen it IRL I might not hate it so much ... but as it is, I find it irritatingly synthetic and perkie-chirpie Hollywood, like Piper or Coco, trying to be a character. I'd use Fran for Frances / Francine instead.
