Help[Opinions] Re: Petula, Carla, Edie
in reply to a message by Kezza
I adore Edith, nn Edie. Edith transports me back into time to Anglo-Saxon England. I love names that do that. And the nn Edie is so adorable. Love it.
Petula is cute. It makes me think of Petula Clark, the 60's pop singer. Her nn could be Tula, like the character in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."* It also reminds me of Petra which I find very elegant.
I've never been able to warm up to Carla, though. There's nothing wrong with it. It just seems harsh somehow. But I'd take it any day over Carly (ick).
* Yes, I know that character's name came from Fortula (sp?), not Petula. I'm just offering a potential nn for Petula.
