HelpRe: Elinor Scout Julia
in reply to a message by BeccyLeader2
The only one that isn't plug-ugly to me is Julia, an I still don't really like it.
Elinor is an unattractive spelling of what to me will always be a frumpy, dowdy old-lady name.
Scout, however, is just awful. It sounds like someone's hunting dog.
Naming a little girl Scout is about like naming a kid Champ or Munchkin or Buster; Scout Finch had a perfectly good name, two of them, actually, yet her father's boyish nickname for her is the one people think makes a good full name.
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!
