HelpRe: Sherry vs. Carrie
in reply to a message by Pickles
Sherry
I liked Carrie when I was a child but never met any and it began to seem creepy. I think of Carry Nation and the Stephen King book. Carrie also sounds like "care-y" and like "carry," and those things really bother me. Caro seems like a more modern nick for Caroline. Also Carly is better than Carrie.
Sherry seems bright and friendly. I've met many of them.
Sherry just had a popular sound, it was on trend, it's much more a nick for Sharon or Cheryl than it is an "alcohol name," and I think it's weird that anyone believes it is literally about alcohol. That's like seriously believing Everly is supposed to mean "in an 'anytime' manner" ...
Sherry always seemed to me like it's supposed to be spunkier than staid/traditional Sharon or Carrie, more hippie-laid-back than preppy Kelly, and "safer" or "classier" than Brandy.
