[Opinions] Re: Bird
in reply to a message by Array
Have you ever seen "Before Women Had Wings"? It's a beautiful, sad film and the little girl's name is Bird. That's what I would think of. For me, the name is too "clipped" sounding. (My accent means vowels are extra short, and "bird" is a short word to start with of course.) But in the film, they had lovely southern drawls and that lengthened it a bit :-)It's also a semi-degrading word for an attractive woman where I live, and in various parts of the UK. I think Ireland as well. "She's a cracking bird," for example. That'd be a problem here. A bit like being called Chick or Babe.Bird Cornelia sounds pretty darn cool._____________________________________________________________________Elinor
