[Opinions] Shulamith and Troy

I recently read the name Shulamith on a feminist writer and all of a sudden I thought "Hey, that's actually a very beautiful name!"
WDYT?
Also, what do you think about Troy for a girl? Generally, I don't like place names for human beings, I don't like boys' names on girls and I think Troy on a boy sounds too "cowboy-is". But strangely enough, I like it for a girl.

a myth about Don Shula?

He was a famous football coach for the Miami Dolphins. That's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw Shulamith.

Troy for a girl? I don't like it for boys, but for girls? I have a bad association with the name.

I have a friend who's name is Malin, but she's the kind of girl who changes a lot form day to day. A couple of times she has changed her name, not legally, just asking her friend to call her something different, including April and Shulamith.
I think it's a weird name and to be perfectly honest, I don't like it at all. Troy is alright, but not for a girl.

I adore Shulamith! Shulamith and Shadrach are my two top GP names:-)

I dislike Troy on a boy and hate it on a girl. Croatian name for the Greek city is Troja and I actually think that might not be so bad for a girl.

It's Troja in Swedish, too. :)

Shulamith could grow on me.
I don't like Troy for a boy or girl. It's too masculine for a girl and I wouldn't want to have this name. It also makes me think of (embarrasingly enough) High School Musical because it was the name of the male lead.

off topic

I always read your whole signature before I realize it's your signature! I find myself wondering what word you are referring to...and then I remember that it's your signature. Man, I must need more sleep. :)

Same here!

I'm very sensitive, so I was thinking "oh no, what have I done now!?" until I realised it was simply a signature. :)
Maybe write it in Italics?

Inconceivable!

Now THAT just made my day :)

It's a line from the Princess Bride, but, you see, I couldn't think of anything else.

All is forgiven though. I often think that it sounds a bit strange myself xD.

I've been enjoying your signature...

...as "The Princess Bride" is one of my very favorite films and books. As an aside, I can't believe Goldman has left Fezzik and Waverly falling down an inconceivably high cliff all these years...

Why, thank you!

I wish Goldman would finish it already!

Hmm, yes, when you mention it, I remember I have read that it's a name from High School Musical, but I have never seen that show (over my dead body! Phantom FTW!).

Hahahahah. I haven't seen it for 5 years xD
