[Opinions] Re: Mary Jules
in reply to a message by Scarlet
I'm not sure I've ever seen it before, but I get such a strong impression that it seems as if I'd seen it somewhere on a fictional character, one who is stuck up/stern/prissy/pious/smug. Don't let Mary Jules catch you breaking any rules.
More generally it just sounds kind of princessy to me. I can't say why other than just, Mary double name (religiousy and can seem precious), combined with the Jules thing that is both nicknamey and a bit masculine, which gives me kind of a self-consciously brassy vibe like a girl named James.
Sorry for the negativity if you like it. It's not objectively bad of course and I'm not trying to discourage you. But it hits me wrong.
