[Opinions] Re: Embeth and Wilbeth
in reply to a message by Tiggs
I too immediately thought of actress Embeth Davidtz who I have seen in the 1999 film Mansfield Park (nothing like Jane Austen's original novel but great actors). I think Embeth is definitely usable. It reminds me of Elspeth (and Elsbeth and Elizabeth) so it actually looks/sounds a bit Scottish to me. The other names are pretty much too out of date to use and don't have pleasant sounds.

Huh, interesting that Embeth makes you think of Elspeth. It wouldn't have occured to me, but actually it makes a lot of sense: I've had a crush on Elspeth (the name) for a long time and Embeth shares quite a few of her sounds and has a similar feel to me, so no wonder I like Embeth as well.
Thank you! :-)
