Ain't never been no doll, but I'll try!
Winona. I've always loved it; never met one, and no clue how it's seen in its natural habitat, but I think it's great.
Iris. With
Daisy, though not in the same sibset, the only flower name(s) I'd feel comfortable using.
Bess, but only as a nn for
Elizabeth or
Beatrice - a friend of my mother's called her
Bess rather than
Bea.
Kirsten. Lovely once, then it went spectacularly viral and disappeared just as suddenly.
Lorena. It could, and would have to, shorten to something close to
Laura.
Velma. Awful;
Thelma is nice.
Rory. Great on a boy; on a girl, unspeakably horrible.
Benedict. Shortens obligingly to
Ben; fresher than
Benjamin.
Axel. Pleasantly Scandi.
And all the others jostle each other for last place.
