[Opinions] Re: Martha, Sally, and Betsy
in reply to a message by Caroline
I hugely enjoy Sally and Betsy! Sally has been a name in its own right for so long that it really doesn't need a long form. Betsy does!
I'd like Nancy, Betsy and Lindsey, and possibly Topsy, as a set. Anne, Elizabeth, Lindsey is fine on its own and Topsy can only be Topsy.
Sally and Betsy is lovely, but so are Sally and Polly - I've got a very soft spot for Polly.
I can't join you in a Martha, I'm afraid. I knew a nice Maritha once (the th sounded like a t - maREEta) but I've had very bad luck with Martha people.
I was nearly a Sarah myself, for family reasons. I'm really glad I escaped, though I'd have been a happy Sally if my parents had thought of it.
