Re: Dinah & Camellia
in reply to a message by honeypie
Camellia isn't ugly but it feels affected, very faux-Southern Belle, like Magnolia. Camille or Camilla/Camila is much nicer.
Dinah is ugly. It's like a Boston person saying diner, and of course there's the song about working on the railroad: "Someone's In the Kitchen With Dinah" and later "Dinah, won't you blow?" I don't see any really good reason to ever use Dinah.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
