Re: Forgotten friends
in reply to a message by Bear
I like every single one of those names. On the one hand, I've got pretty far-seeing tastes, but on the other hand, I do think they'll all be revived. Everyone's going to catch up to me eventually, and there'll be little Jeans and Winnies running around again. ;)
One you've left off--I rather wish everyone didn't hate Edna so much, because how can anyone possibly reject a name that comes with an image like this?
It's so romantic looking, even if she went by Vincent. :D

That portrait is AMAZING. I've seen it before, but it never ceases to please. I agree the name Edna should be better received. Even Eithne hasn't really caught on the way I thought it would.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's the "Ed-" part that puts modern ears off. With renewed interest in Edmund / Edmond, hopefully the "Ed-" embargo will soon be lifted.
I hope I'm around when everyone catches up with your taste. Jeans, Winnies, Elvys, Evenings and Scholasticas are much awaited. :-D
