Re: Prudence and Agatha and Dorcas, Harvey, Rosalind and Susie, Hilda and Zelda, Ambrose, Salem, Sabrina
I tried twice to get into this show, and I just couldn't do it. Mostly because I felt like I was being asked to sympathize with genuinely evil characters - particularly Aunt Zelda. (And I love Miranda Otto. But Zelda is evil.)Regarding the names, I've spoken many times about my enduring love of the name Sabrina (most recently here: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/5381860). I also like Zelda & Ambrose as names.Don't like any of the other names, especially Dorcas. I understand it was, historically, how to get the nickname Cassie in English, but the nineteenth century brought about the use of names from Greek Mythology, thus we have Cassandra. Dorcas doesn't need to come back.***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381
