Help[Opinions] Re: Nigella
in reply to a message by Capucine
I love most feminine names that obviously come from masculine ones. There's something awkward, precious and vulnerable about them that I love.
If I met one, I'd first assume she was named after a male family member. Maybe that's the vulnerable part that I'm digging. Family affection is written all over them. Yes, with Nigella I would wonder if Ms Lawson played a role. That's not a bad thing. I'm thrilled when a celebrity or teen book series (thank you J.K. Rowling) re-introduces a name to the general public.
Is Nigella a flower / plant? I didn't know that. I think of Nigella as a feminized Nigel, first and foremost.
I don't see why Nigella couldn't be a fn. :-) I've never tried to make a combination for it. Nigella Sophie, Nigella Timothea, Nigella Cecily, Nigella Hilary, Nigella Phoebe?
