HelpRobert
in reply to a message by Siri
I didn't start to like Robert as much as I do now until I met one that went by his full name. For as popular as the name might be on the charts, everyone seems to be a Rob or a Bob. So a Robert, no nickname, is something that stood out to me. I like its Germanic sound very much. :-)
Genevieve is okay. It's nothing that I've ever gotten into but it's pretty enough. Kind of too something for me--too fussy or prissy, maybe. A little bit of an eye-roller. But not ugly by any means. If it somehow went along with Magdalene, either being a combo or in a sibset together, it would be a match I couldn't describe any more kindly than as highfalutin.
Off topic, but I knew a sibset once of Aaron, William, Genevieve, and Charles. Of course they were Aaron, Bill (very funny on a five year old), Genevieve with her full name, and Charlie, but their full names were great together.

Magdalene
I like Magdalene very much and considerably more than Genevieve if you put them side by side. I think it has a lot more punch than Genevieve even if they're aesthetically similar in the sense that they're long and, IMO, have a similar sense of femininity.
I agree about the baggage thing, at least my interpretation of what you're saying. :-) I think there's something distinctly different about it from Miriam and Margaret. As old as Magdalene is, its popularity has apparently not risen above "rock bottom" in decades so it doesn't really have any personal associations for me. The only figure that it does bring to mind is Mary Magdalene and she's been getting fairly favorable press lately.
I'd like Lydia Magdalene. ;-)
ETA: I like Miriam and Margaret anyway. I still want someone else to adopt Miriam Noor.
