HelpRe: Betsy and Jemima
in reply to a message by Catzor
I think that's just silly. Betsy and Jemima were human long before they were farm animals or products. And nor can I imagine people looking at a baby, a toddler, a schoolgirl, an adult and seeing anything other than what is right in front of their eyes.
For both names, I think you could open any of the Anne of Green Gables books (or Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, or the early Pollyannas) and find inspiration. Daisy, Caroline, Susan (updated to Suzanne?), Anne, Belinda ...
I've always liked the idea of Nancy, Betsy, Lindsey and Topsy. But it's the guiltiest of pleasures ... actually, another GP of mine is Paisley, and she'd fit in there rather well. Perhaps I could treat myself to phantom quintuplets!
For the record, I'd use Elizabeth for official purposes and keep Betsy as a nn.
