Re: Jesse and Eli
in reply to a message by Murasaki
I really love Jesse. I always thought it was totally effeminate and inappropriate on a boy until I met my now ex-boyfriend. He made me love it. Now when I hear "Jess(i)e", I think of a boy first before I think of a Jessica.
Eli annoys me so much. In fact, I started watching that series "Eli Stone" and had to stop after about half an hour because I couldn't stand the name anymore. I think it's the fact that my initial reaction would be to pronounce it like Elly, but it's this ugly EEEEEEEEEEE-lieeeeeeeeeee. It seems so over the top and unnatural to me somehow. And dragged out.
