[Opinions] Re: Samantha
in reply to a message by RoxStar
This is an interesting observation because now that I think about it, most names containing "th" sound pretty elderly or vintage, but Samantha is one of the only ones that doesn't (the others, in my opinion, being Bethany, Annabeth, Xanthe, and Athena). I think the "n" in the name softens the "th" sound, too.
Elderly th names (in my opinion): Bertha, Ethel, Martha, Beth, Theodosia, Dorothy, Agatha, Cynthia
Vintage th names (in my opinion): Elizabeth, Edith, Meredith, Judith, Thea, Katherine, Ruth, Faith, Tabitha, Lilith
