HelpRe: Geneva
in reply to a message by mirfak
It was some recent bestseller, A Spool of Blue Thread. Merrick does sound kind of witchy and "edgy" now that I think about it, but in this book the name was chosen by a kind of Appalachian redneck social climber trying to appear old money blue-bloodish in Baltimore. He named his son Redcliffe.

Haha, that's funny when considered alongside the Anne Rice character. Hard to believe the author wasn't aware of it, especially since it was a title character.
But now that I think of it, the surnaminess just seems like another reason to think it'll show up on girls in real life. I dunno, it never sounded posh to me as a surname - dog food company, Elephant Man. Guess it might seem that way "back east" since it's the name of a town - so there's probably an old family.

So move to the west coast? haha. I don't think it's pretentious-seeming here.
Maybe someone disagrees ... dunno. Nobody has called it pretentious in the comments, yet.
