HelpRe: Oval and Candle
in reply to a message by Caitlin
I agree with jeziana about Candle - the similarity to Kendall (and to Chandler) makes it seem namier. Besides, the concept conjures images of churches and celebrations, which is also vaguely namey. I personally don't like it, but I could call someone Candle without flinching... unlike Campbell, or even Chandler itself.
Oval, on the other hand, is pretty awful IMO. It means "egg-shaped." That's it... egg-shaped. Not namey, except by resemblance to Opal (which I don't think has a namey sound anyway), and certainly not a namey concept. It makes me think of furniture and optical-scan test sheets, and ovaries, oddly. And I agree with Lizzie about the 'what if she's overweight' question.

That was pretty much my train of thought.
