[Opinions] Re: Anya, Ivy, Grace
in reply to a message by sprout
Not a pleasing trio. I prefer Anne to any of its many versions, and I don't see the point of using a version from a foreign language, unless there is a good reason. And "Let's go exotic!" doesn't count. Plant names aren't top of my pops, and Ivy is one of the most annoying plants in real life, so, No. Plus, starting with I sounds rather conceited though I know it shouldn't. As for Grace, the religious meaning means less than nothing to me, so I'm left with gracious and graceful, both of which are OK as words, but as name meanings or extensions, not really. What if poor Grace is clumsy and unfriendly? Too risky!
