HelpRe: BTN's Top Names for 2012
in reply to a message by mirfak
Interesting!
I use the term "honky" because Brubeck died and I was thinking about Beau's opinion of Take 5 as "some honky ass shit," coincidentally as my sister was telling me she liked names like Vivian and Eli and Charles and Lucas and Caroline, so I was just telling her she liked really honky-ass names.
Here are the names that scream "HONKY" to me, just for girls. (The only Ronan I know is Indian!)
1. Iris (67) - HONKY

Wait, so Susannah is "honky" but Susanna isn't?? Elisabeth but not Elizabeth?
>These I agree are HONKY:
Sylvie, Alice, Charlotte, Rosemary, Astrid, Eleanor, Susannah, Eloise, Katherine, Annabel (even though personal experience tells me otherwise), Bridget, Catherine, Claire, Margaret, Juliet, Julia, Stella, Katharine, Eirlys, Adelaide, Aoife, Elinor, Emmeline
>These should be considered HONKY:
Mary, Eira, Sophia, Susanna, Saga, Tullia, Anouk, Bonnie, Lumi, Irmelin, Kinborough, Lily
>Would not consider these HONKY:
Iris, Louisa, Phoebe, Helena, Lydia, Eve, Lucy, Delphine, Genevieve, Maeve, Matilda, Florence, Elisabeth,

Yea, I'd say so. This is obviously a personal reaction and nothing factual, and I associate Susanna with, well, the Marriage of Figaro... a different kind of honky

Changing the "z" to "s" in Elizabeth is a choice I can totally understand, but it does strike me as kind of prissy.

So, like ... honky not as white race per se ... I could go to the thesaurus for this, but nah, I'll just say that I think I get it. I've heard Take 5... lol.
I guess in that case I agree about almost all. Not Iris, though. Other disagreements: Beatrice (H), Rosalie (H), Dahlia (not)

Yeah, sort of - but actual yuppie type people tend to use names like Addison, Ava, Mason, and Aiden. In my observation, at least. I think hipster would be more accurate if I'm trying to stereotype these.
I missed your name change and just noticed it and thought aha, no wonder I like this "new" poster. Glad you're still around after all.
