Help[Opinions] Re: Star?
in reply to a message by mirfak
I'm so happy you put "stripperish" in rabbit's ears. When I read people saying names are that, I always want to narrow my eyes and say, "You KNOW what is a stripper's name? How?"
But, anyway.
I agree that Starlet is less nice. It goes away from nature stars and towards famous stars. Starling, though, I think is nicer.
Starr can be a surname (I know from reading Emily of New Moon) but I wonder how many people would know? Or... wait, isn't there a Beatle with the last name Star?
So you think Star is artificial as a nickname for Estelle. I can see how it might be thought... hmmm. I would totally nickname Margaret "Pearl", though!
Thanks for replying ^_^

I once heard and saw a young father describe how he had talked his wife out of the name Autumn by saying it was a "stripper name". I say I "saw" it in addition to hearing it because he re-created the stripper-walk-down-the-runway act he had performed for his wife when designating Autumn a "stripper-name". The name they ultimately chose was Heather. I completely failed to see how Autumn was any more of a "stripper name" than Heather is, and I told him so.
