[Opinions] Re: Linda or Erika (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I was at school with a very dear Erica, so that's how I always see it in my head. Her nn was Egg or Eggs, which was the closest her elder sister could get to Erica when they were tiny, but don't let that put you off. Her mn was Joy.
Linda actually is pretty. More so than Lindsey, for instance. But I'd be more likely to use Lindsey (with an e because I was always under the impression that Lindsay was male and therefore Lindsey was female) or even Lyndall, which is a pretty rare name overall (Lime-Tree Valley) but still quite well known here in South Africa because it was used for the heroine of Story of an African Farm, aka The First South African Novel. I've personally known three, if you count one mn. And too many Linda people to count!
Associations, then.
Erica: happiness, intelligence, fortitude, outdoor stuff and sport. Blue and white with touches of brown.
Linda: pretty, friendly, quiet, unmemorable. For Lyndall, add horses.
