HelpRe: Echo
in reply to a message by Billina
I think it's painfully (echoingly) empty and thoughtless, worse than Narcissa because at least that's a flower.
The first time I saw it outside of the myth was for the main character of a YA novel about 16 years ago, and at first, I had to suspend disbelief, but then she turned out to be a sulky, insomniac binge-eater with toxic family relationships, and I was like 'oh, nm, I guess that name choice by the author makes sense'.
But people use it IRL, so it's gotta work. It's more palatable to me as a MN, because then it's easier for me to imagine as a poetic expression: if my name were Marisol Echo "sea and sun echo", I think I'd be okay with that.
