Help[Opinions] Re: Jacqueline and Alice
in reply to a message by ADT
Jacqueline is very late '70s and early '80s in my country, so to my ear, it sounds quite outdated. Also, the obvious nicknames for it in English (such as Jackie, Jacqui) sound a bit cheap to me (to put it nicely), so that doesn't help to improve Jacqueline's appeal either. I would suggest you try Jacquemine instead (google it on e.g. the French version of Google, if you wish) - at least with that one, you can use Mina as a nickname for it (which would be really cute).
As for Alice, the name sounds rather bland and old-fashioned to me. I mostly think of Alice in Wonderland, which is not a good association (I never read the book, but hated the Disney film and the Japanese anime as a child). Perhaps you should try a more exciting derivation of Adelaide instead, such as Aletta (see Submitted Names Database) or Adela.
