Re: Fanny (as full name)
in reply to a message by Felie
I think if someone actually used the name Fanny here, nobody would say anything except a few might say that it was cute and retro.
Nobody seriously uses that slang anymore, at least not in the US. They only know about it. People might use fanny in place of bottom, only when speaking in a saccharine way to small children, or if they were being facetious.
If not for the slang, I like it alright. It's sort of breathless sounding though, like Faye, and so not a favorite to me.

The saccharine way it gets used with kids makes it worse to me, because I have instant recall of it being used that way with me. I'd skip it.
