Re: Jesse and Eli
in reply to a message by Murasaki
Jess-names are wonderful in general - so opened, smiling and not taking themselves too seriously. Weird, but this description fits by me even Jessica, which most of people tend to consider serious and mature. Lol. I have a few associations with Jesse I dislike, but I'm still happy to see it in BA's.
Mm, I'm having problems with Eli. Elias (although it is very overused where I live) and Elijah are both on my PNL, but I've no good nicknames to them except the most logical Eli. A good reason to start liking it, too, but I just can't. There seems to be nothing to catch in it. The ee at the beginning + lie at the end - no durable letters, everything is so short and slippery in Eli. Ill eye. :P
...oh well, maybe this is because I tend to dislike names with strongly pointed "l"s. I dislike Lily, Lulu, Lolly &co for the same reasons as Eli. Only Lou has survived from my problematic relationship with "l". :D
