HelpSusan and Frederica
So my wonderful sister sent me a message yesterday. A movie is coming out soon called "Love and Friendship" based on a Jane Austen unfinished novel, "Love and Freindship (sic)". A Jane Austen story that I don't know the ending to? Will it end happily? One is all aquiver. :0)
Better yet, the main character's name is Susan and her daughter is Frederica. Growing up with legions of Susans I didn't think that I would ever like the name. But now it's surprisingly fresh, at least to me. Frederica (nn Freda "FREE-duh") is a family name and I've always loved it. My relations pronounce it "freh-DREE-kuh." I'll be interested to see how it's pronounced by the cast in the movie.
So. What do you think of Susan? Too plain, or pleasingly simple, or another reaction? And what about Frederica? How would you pronounce it, three or four syllables? Do you like it? Could it catch on as a name? Middle name ideas are most welcome. Thanks!
