HelpRe: Florence & Virginia
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
When I hear Florence as a name, I think primarily of Florence Nightingale and Florence Welch.
...so, I associate it with nurses, nightingales (and by extension: poetry, love, death), and indie rock...also, to a lesser degree, Italy.
It's a GP of mine, because those seem like interesting associations, and I think it's a nice enough sound, but I dislike place names in general.
The main reason I'm at all fond of Virginia is because it's my sister's name...my mom called her Virginia Dare sometimes we were growing up, which I think is a fun historical combo...and I guess it can come across as an unusual mix of weighty and delicate.
