Help[Opinions] Re: Wdyt of Cymbeline?
in reply to a message by Beatrix
It's a Shakespearean boy's name, so I would probably laugh if I saw it on a girl. I don't really like it on a boy either, but please don't use it on a girl. I really dislike boys names being used on girls, no matter how "feminine" they sound.
May I suggest Seraphine instead?

Agree, it strikes me as ignorant, especially since this isn't a common name that could easily be mistaken. It's very closely associated with Shakespeare, and to use it out of context just seems... brash for lack of a better word.

Don't worry, I doubt I'd ever use it. My latest naming interest is with names ending in leen or line. This is just a little different from the others, but can be traced back to Shakspeare, which for me makes it somewhat desirable.
