HelpRe: Helen, Margaret, Susan, or Deborah
in reply to a message by Martha
Helen - nice but kind of boring. I think I do like it better than Helena. The meaning is nice. I don't think it's very dated. The "hell" part bothers me a bit because I'd be kind of worried people would call her Hel for short kind of like you call a Jennifer Jen sometimes or use Em for Emma.
Susan - I really dislike Sue and Susie so I'd stay away from it. It's very 50s/60s. I don't have a problem with it but I don't particularly like it either. It reminds me of "Miracle on 34th Street" which is nice.
Margaret - nice meaning. I used to like it until I met one and had to use it on a daily basis. She was nice but having to say it over and over made me realize how harsh and ugly it actually sounds. I think it's hideous now :(
Deborah - this is kind of nice pronounced with three syllables. But I can't stand Debbie, Deb or the Debra pronunciation and spelling. I think it might be hard to enforce the three syllable pronunciation. The meaning is nice. Very 60s.
I think I'd choose Helen. Helen Lyra.
