[Opinions] Re: Claire, Rachel, Naomi
in reply to a message by a.red.red.rose
They're smart names. I like how none of them end in A.
Anne is a super boring name. It is better than Ann though.
I think maybe Judith is my favorite, especially if there's an option for Judy, which is just super fun. Judith is high-minded and does a lot of thinking in the library. Judy has a big laugh and adds onto the joke and makes everyone laugh harder. Together they're an unstoppable team.
I like Claire and Rachel about equally, I'm not passionate about either. Claire is a little dreamier, Rachel is a little more powerful and focused. I think of Claires as kind of self-indulgent dreamers and Rachels as, like, scientists and administrators. Claire as a name is prettier than Rachel as a name, though. I like the Rachel spelling way more than Rachael, which is just awkward and takes away a lot of the feeling of sharpness.
Naomi sits awkwardly in my head. It's sort of hard for me to say and figure out. Like, it's hard for me to realize that it's a real name, for some reason, so whenever I think about it it's as a hypothetical name. It feels like the palm of a hand. Very earthy and wise.

I'm going to be lazy and mostly agree with this instead of giving my own detailed opinion.
Anne is fairly boring but looks more formal than Ann. I could like it, especially with a cool MN.
That description of Judith / Judy is spot on.
I slightly prefer Claire to Rachel but don't disagree with that assessment of their differences.
I like Naomi, partly because it does seem earthy, but I hesitate with the pronunciation, so it is a bit awkward.
