HelpRe: WDYTO Greer?
in reply to a message by ThePerfectName
I'm conflicted.
Greer Garson was such a beautiful, elegant woman / actress. It's hard not to like anything connected to "Mrs. Miniver." Associations play a big part in whether or not I like a name and this is such a good association.
But then again, I'm crusading against using boy names on girls here at BtN. And the sound of Greer is not very attractive to my ears anyway. Also, I'm showing my age, but 1970's professional (U.S.) football player Rosie Greer comes to mind too. A sweetheart of a man, but definitely not feminine.
So on balance, I'd have to say "no" to Greer on a girl.
