HelpRe: Return and Chicory
in reply to a message by Eilis
Wow. Return, in the 18th Century? It sounds like a very new kind of name. I'd be really interested to see the history of that one!
As for my opinion, I don't like it very much. Nouns as names can be nice, but verbs? Kind of weird to yell out "Return!" when wanting them. I'd feel like I was playing Pokemon.
And Chicory.. I don't like that much either. I don't like the sound of the word, really, though I could get used to it. It's not totally awful.

Return sounds either old and Puritan or like a new, miscellaneous word name to me. I was curious about how much further back the family had been using it, beyond the three generations that I saw (on Wikipedia; it's not like I was really researching this!).
I felt similarly about Chicory--"not totally awful"--but it's grown on me. Not my thing exactly, but I think it's a cute and quirky alternative if you wanted a floral alternative that wasn't Bryony, Willow, etc.
