[Opinions] Re: Matilda & Sabrina ...
I love Matilda and have no witch or movie connotation. Though Matilda by Roald Dahl is good for me. I love the meaning of it.
Sabrina is a teenage witch to me. I don't really like the name.
Avalon - a place, a least a place in a novel. Possibly usable butI so would not.
Midori - a Japanese vocabulary word, like watashinohonwa midoridesu. (my book is green). Otherwise it's a green coloured premixed alcoholic drink. So I don't think it's usable.
Belle Ruth is a bit choppy, stop start combo.

Hmmm well that's strange, I have met Japanese woman named Midori, though not many because I don't see many woman from Japan. And I've seen Midori mentioned as a name before on many Japanese name sites. Though I think the Japanese must sometimes use vocabulary words sometimes just like some english speaking people do and I'm certain other people who don't speak english probably do also. I've met a man from Japan named Kajii which if you're house is on fire you would say Kajii, Kajii. So I would say that it's ok to use Midori as name. Though one japanese name I love alot is Tomoko, I had a pen pel from japan named Tomoko, and partially because of her and the show sailor moon I fell in love with japan. I even use to wish to be Japanese when I was 6 years old and for a couple years after that. But anyway when I just thought of Sailor Moon I remembered the name Serena which is close to Sabrina.---------------------------------------------------------------------

Midori DOES mean "green" in Japanese. It IS used as a girl name in Japan. It's like the way Ruby is used as an English girl name, itself being a gemstone. Although I like Sabrina (Matilda is okay but I wouldn't name my daughter that), I think Serena is beautiful.

Hmmm well I mainly meant that I thought it strange that someone would say that since it is a vocabulray word they wouldn't use it as a name.---------------------------------------------------------------------
