HelpRe: Rosalind, Dominique and Asa
in reply to a message by Ismene
I like Rosalind. ROZ-uh-lind. It seems 1940s styled to me, in a good way.
I love Dominique. I agree with New Chloe and guru that it seems intense, unbalanced, and 90s, and to me those are good things. I think Minnie is an okay nickname. I'd probably prefer Niki.
I don't care for Asa much. It's much like Enoch, Amos, Micah and Ezra to me - sort of fusty and throwback. Those old -a and -ah Bible names that have been rare in my experience until recently, now seem deliberately stylishly "soft" on the ear, bearing the flourish of the uh ending, and that's not really my style. I like more clipped and chunky guy names. However since Asa contains the sound of the word ace, I guess it is butch enough for me to not think it's too "pretty" sounding for a man. heheh
