[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Fox
in reply to a message by Names
Primrose - Prim is not the most sought-after nn, and Primrose reminds me of the only one I've ever heard of, wife of a UK doctor who systematically murdered his patients, stole their jewellery and gave it to Wife Primrose, who wore it without question.
Wolf - Hitler's self-chosen nn. He was known to children as Onkel Wolf.
Meadow - silly rather than distasteful; better than Barnyard.
Olive - pretty colour, nice fruit and oil, pity about Popeye. Far prefer Olivia.
Maple - no context; sounds almost like Mabel, which I greatly prefer
Hazel - My friend named a dog Hazel 'because she's a nut'. Enough said!
Bear - tries so hard to be impressive, but is really so pretentious that it falls flat on its nose, or muzzle.
ETA: Sorry! Left out Fox. Well, rather Fox than Weasel or Jackal if we're just looking at animals. And it's a lnfn, which many people like much better than I do. But then there's the TV network, which puts me right off.
