I feel like I’m the only person who thoroughly dislikes
Herleva and prefers
Arlette over it.
Herleva is clunky, dated, unattractive-sounding and overall just very ugly. The only person I can imagine being named this is a bitter old
German grandmother, shouting at her grandchildren with an incomprehensibly thick accent.
Arlette isn’t the prettiest name either, but I find it much more youthful and less harsh than
Herleva. It doesn’t really remind me of
Arlene or any other “redneck“ style names - it reminds me more of Alouette or
Antoinette instead. It’s still not really my style, but much better than
Herleva at any rate.
Anyone agree? Anyone disagree?
