Help[Opinions] Re: Waverly
in reply to a message by ABs Mum
Waverly is the name of a really unfortunate, small, dilapidated, impoverished town I live near.
There are lots and lots of names out there that you could use that have history as First Names and will do a grand job of connecting any hypothetical children with them to the rich heritage of a humanity in which people were named first names, and lots of them are very unusual. There is no need to name anyone Waverly.
Aside from all of that I don't like the phonetics because I think that dactyls (words with 3 syllables with emphasis on the first) sound very singsongy and unintellectual when the second syllable ends in an R. (as opposed to the third syllable beginning in an r. Kimberly sounds very silly to me - Kim-ber-ly, but Val-e-rie sounds fine.) Aside from that though, the wave syllable sounds pretty.
