I've been almost liking
Phyllis lately since I've been using it regularly in my job with an elderly lady by that name. I also just recently watched an adaptation of 'The Railway Children' by E. Nesbit in which there is a young girl named
Phyllis.
I've been struck by its similar sound to
Phoebe which I adore. I also just looked up the meaning "foliage" and rather like it as autumn is my favorite season.
Taken all together I can't really make up my mind whether I like the name
Phyllis or not. I used to think it so old sounding but now I'm starting to think it's not that bad, especially the combo
Phyllis Evelyn.
So WDYTO
Phyllis and
Phyllis Evelyn? What are your opinions on the nn Phyl or
Lis? All comments are much appreciated! :)
