Re: Dagmar, Fay, Beulah, & Myrtle
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I know a lot of/most people really, really dislike Beulah, but I genuinely don't understand it. Can someone explain it? I think it's quite cute!
I like Fay, too, but I'm not sure I would ever like it enough to use it. Maybe if it was literally the only name my SO and I could agree we liked vaguely.
Myrtle is sweet but again not something I would use. It reminds me of reptiles and Moaning Myrtle.
Dagmar gives me a dated feel and I'm not Germanic enough to use it.

I like Beulah, too. I think most dislike it because it's "old" and is consonant heavy, which isn't exactly a popular sound right now. It is a nice name, though, and it would be nice to see it used more.
