[Opinions] Re: The Gale Quadruplets
in reply to a message by zbf
Jean is better as a middle name.June is bright and happy and lovely, and I wish it would make a comeback.Joan is strong and not the prettiest of the bunch, but I *notice* it.Jane is feminine in a way that isn't overly frilly like an 1830's evening gown (can you tell I've been reading a ton of articles on fashion history?).I never liked Marcia much, but it's fine. Amanda has become one of my very favorite names, which surprises me. Lorna is like a foggy evening on an English moor. Or something.I guess the parents wanted the quads to have similar names, because cuteness? But yeah, it IS hard to keep track of them all. There are so many great names out there, why limit yourself so much when you have four daughters to name?Oh, well. **After supposedly dying on January 30, 2007 after eating tainted pancakes, she returned several times as an angel and was revealed to be alive on May 17, 2011. )**

I love June, too. I know someone with a young June, she was named after her grandmother. It really is a bright, sunny, happy name.It looks like those weren't their real names, al but June never went by anything else.If you get a chance look up Oscar Levant. He was fascinating.

Amanda is actually a really nice name, right?? It snuck up on me too, although it's not one of my very favourites.

My brother wanted to name his eldest Amanda Rose. He ended up agreeing to his wife's choice of Brianna Lynn. Brianna is very happy they didn't go with Amanda, I suppose it would have been the same as me being named Stephanie or naming my daughter Lindsay.
