Re: Willoughby
in reply to a message by Amandine
I do love the sound, and it really does seem like something that should be slightly trendy. It gives me the same vibes as stuff like Bellamy, Atticus, Holden and Scarlett - the "I loved that classic book they made me read in school" hipster gang. And it also fits in with the -eigh trends too. I'm not sure why nobody seems that interested in it! Maybe it's a name that sort of missed its own moment, the way Susannah was passed over even though it would have fit right in with the resurgence of Hannah and Sadie and Abigail.
I'm not a fan of the "oughb" part, that's the thing. But any other spelling looks so wrong.
