HelpRe: Blythe
in reply to a message by lusia
I don't really like Blythe because I don't find the word "blythe" to be wholly positive. I wanted to see if its strict dictionary definition was positive, negative, or neutral, but do you know the Merriam Webster site wanted to charge me for the definition?? Apparently, you need to pay to get their unabridged edition and "blythe" is only in the unabridged edition. Yeesh.
Anyway, what I did find as a meaning was "carefree". Which I think is what gives it a somewhat negative connotation to me. Like someone who just shucks off all responsibilities, shuts out all negative realities, just so they can act and be happy and be silly. I find the name somewhat demeaning, actually, Blythe Danner notwithstanding.
