Help[Opinions] Re: Pepper, Marigold, & Ethelred
in reply to a message by RDNZL
Pepper - I once had a dog named Pepper; also, it reminds me of food, grey hair, pepper spray, and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
Beyond that, I don't much like the sound.
Marigold - I think it might be difficult to pull off...sometimes it seems vibrant and fun to me, other times stodgy and self-indulgent...maybe because of the gold/old ending? (I'm not sure why.) I like that it has the potential of being shortened to Mari.
Ethelred - I really like it, although I can't imagine bestowing it upon a child...it sounds more like something I would name a car (my current one's Ermintrude NN Trudy)...I know it's OTT, but it seems almost familiar to me...possibly because I had a great uncle Eldred, plus I vaguely remember reading about Ethelred the Unready and thinking his name was cool.
