Re: Merope
in reply to a message by Martha
Someone asked about it a month ago, which got me thinking about it. My visual for it is dusk or like lilac/mauve velvet.
I think it looks elegant in certain combos.
It does sound a bit heavy/morose to me, like Dolores would, but I somewhat like Dolores, and there's something endearing about it like Opal; also, I guess, names like Antiope and Meri.
The HP character complicates it, but I think if it was actually used, people would get over that (at least, that used to be my only association, and I warmed up to it quickly). And I think the majority of people aren't going to remember that reference strongly to begin with.
