Re: Eartha, Flora and Fauna
in reply to a message by Ismene
Eartha's just ugly. Ugly sound, ugly looking. It sounds like something used on some poor Dust Bowl Okie back in 1933 and she'd have siblings named things like Oba, Alva and Del, and you couldn't be sure who was a boy and who was a girl.
Flora is very pretty, almost as pretty as Florence. I think Florence is a bit more dignified and elegant, while Flora is a bit flashy.
Fauna (and Fawn) are unattractive to me.
There's a sequel to Superfudge by Judy Blume where the kids meet some long-lost cousins, and two of the cousins were these dorky, homeschooled identical twins who thought they were singing stars. They were named Flora and Fauna.
I think, therefore I judge.
