Re: Hilary and Meredith sisters wdyt? nt
in reply to a message by )(
They seem to be the same vintage. In full, they're fine, and not too long. But nns are problematic: I knew a Hilary who was called Lallie, and a Meredith who was called Merry, and I thought both were unfortunate.

What’s wrong with Merry? It sounds just like Mary.

Not in my dialect. And there's nothing wrong with merriment as such, but it isn't on a par with actual virtue names - Felicity and Joy for instance; it's more of a word name.

Huh, it may not be a classic virtue name but I would put it in the same category. All virtue names are essentially word names, but I get that they have a deeper meaning for some.
