[Opinions] Re: Leigh and Hilda
in reply to a message by mizzchable
I think Leigh is ok as fn but it is too short for my taste. I would pair it with a long mn, like Bethany.
I prefer Mathilda (possible nn Hilda) to Hilda as formal name. Rose is pretty though as fn I prefer something longer, like Rosalie, Rosalind or Rosemary. I like Henrietta, what about Henrietta Lee or Henrietta Rose? Glinda sounds like a witch from the land of Oz. And Gromelda sounds like a female troll. I prefer Grizelda, nn Zelda.
