[Opinions] Re: Pleasance
in reply to a message by Perrine
I've never liked it at all: it's not a virtue name, it's not even in general use as a vocabulary item, and it has an annoying half-rhyme with Alice. Even Alice Clemency would be better. Her other siblings had better names, considering when they were being named: Lorina Charlotte Skene; Lionel Charles Liddell; Rhoda Caroline Liddell; Violet Constance Liddell; Edward Henry Liddell; Sir Frederick Frances Liddell and Edith Mary Liddell, according to Geni.com, though I'm sceptical about Frederick Frances. Violet Constance is closest to Alice Pleasance, with the difference that Constance is in general use and I don't know another example of a Pleasance, though perhaps post-Wonderland there were a few?
