Re: Some English names
in reply to a message by Felie
Spencer - Like very much
Grant - dislike and find ugly
Sarah-Alice - Not keen on a hyphenated first name and I've never seen these two paired before. I don't like it ( I really dislike Sarah)
Charlie - I like Charles and I like Charlotte. Charlie seems inevitable but I'm not crazy about it
Cinnamon -f Just no. Ridiculous! It's a spice not a name
Saffron -f - very hippy and quite dated
Gunther - not English (German I believe)
Hansel - Again, not English. It's a German shortening of Johannes
Kathryn - I don't care for Katherine however you spell it and this seems unnecessarily simplified
Rose - very pretty and classic
Chad -m I've never heard this used in the UK - I find it more American than English. And I don't like it very much
Veruca - a verucca is a foot wart. Roald Dahl used it as a name for a horrible child in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but it isn't really a name
Angie - short for Angela? Evangeline? It's a nickname and not a very attractive one imohttp://www.behindthename.com/pnl/167578

Angela is a classic, but Angie really feels dated.Kathryn also really feels dated, even though Catherine/Katherine aren't dated and aren't going to be.
