[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on these extinct girl names?
Last time I checked here, people hated Kirstie. I like it. But, it's kind of a curio ever since I noticed it sounds like "cursed"I seem to remember Paralee is "Par" (like the word par) -a-lee, and the origin is unknown. I think it's neat.Gilda, if pronounced like "gill duh," seems like it could be revived. If those sounds were.Delphia seems revivable, considering that Sophia and Delphine /a are. Maybe it's the ambiguous pronunciation that is the problem (DEL-fia vs. del-FEE-a vs. del-FIE-a). I dunno, I'm kinda liking it alright as DEL-fia. It's better than Delphine imo. Not so much dolphininess.Maud sounds too much like "mod" today imo and won't come back at scale any time soon.I feel like Latoya was not meant to be lasting, it was meant to be youthful in its moment. Basically all the La-names seem like that to me. Like the Mc-names too.Shaniqua got kinda stereotyped. The sound of it reminds me of "je ne sais quoi" in English. If it was meant to sound regal and exotic, I think that worked pretty well, in its moment anyway ... it's also kind of a name of its moment, like Latoya, to me.I hate Hester, I think it sounds sloppy and small. And sort of hostile and rude. Word associates with heckler, hassle, hiss, hysteria. Just bad sounding to me. Esther isn't much better imo.Minta seems like it could be resurrected.- mirfak
