HelpRe: Jamesina is wonderful
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
Aw, I love Jamesina for a girl!
Feminine names that are obviously derived from male names like this one are delightful. It's the same feeling I get (well, almost) when I see a man walking down the street with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. You just know they're for the woman in his life. Even if it's for his mother in the hosptial, it still warms my heart. Men showing their softer, more vulnerable side always makes me melt.
That's how I see names like Jamesina, Georgina, Isadora, etc. (But I'm a hopeless romantic and weird to boot.) How could names like these not be seen as honoring the male name they derived from?

Wonderfully put! I could not have said that better. Why give a girl an obviously masculine name when there is a perfectly good female equivalent to it?
