[Opinions] Re: All names come from words
in reply to a message by Ylva
I never said Colleen was a bad name I just wanted to see how you felt about other forms of address being used as names
You see I think its rather impersonal to call a child by a form of address almost as if they dont deserve to have a name,
I see nothing wrong in a name meaning girl being used if the word it originates from is not in everyday usage or if the name is used in a county where the word isnt in everyday usage.
However Names like Missy and Sonny might be cute on a five year old but they dont age well and seem a bit ridiculous on a fifty year old when used here in England
A childs smile is worth more to me than Gold
