Help[Opinions] Re: Beulah vs. Hortense
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
Beulah Marion
Sandrina Agnes
Martin Jeremy
Oops - forgot the Why! So, ETA:
I knew a girl at school whose younger sister was named Hortense. It was pronounced the French way, except they sounded the H; and they also nicknamed her Tansy, where the Tans had the French nasal pronunciation, the s was an s, not a z, and the y was the usual English ending. That was enough to put me right off Hortense for life. Beulah, then. Sandrina just seemed to fit, and Martin is sturdy and inoffensive. The mns also just seemed to fit. Plus, I don't like any of them, fn or mn! So they should go together well.
