HelpRe: Virginia, Annabel, Eleanor or Mary (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Elinor Gillian, I think. Or Elinor Jocelyn. Elinor Vickie Anne would give her two honouring mns and her initials would be my aunt's name - Eva. But the other two are more likely, I think.
Both sides of my family tree contain people whose actual name was Nelly. I'd prefer the long form, and I like the clean lines of Elinor better than Eleanor with its strange vowels.
Annabel confuses me every time. I should like it: I love Isobel and Anne, and I somewhat like it but not enough.
Mary is to names as frozen peas are to vegetables: lovely, classic, timeless, reliable but too often overlooked.
Virginia is geographical, which I dislike, royalist, which I find hilarious, and promotes an outdated approach to virginity. Plus, I dislike gin and all the Virginias I've known have gone by Ginny.

Ha, I thought you were about to criticize frozen peas. I've recently discovered my love for them. I sometimes will just eat a big bowl of frozen peas with some butter for a meal. It's delicious as long as you don't overcook them. I'm happy to see someone else thinks they're underappreciated.

When my daughter was about 3, she used to love a bowl of buttered peas for breakfast. With a glass of milk, it's practically a balanced diet, or that's what I chose to believe.
