in reply to a message by skinnyminnie
Archibald
vs
Archer: Don't like either one but at least Archer won't come in for bald jokes until he actually starts going bald.
Aretha
vs
Aaliyah: Aliyah. Aretha has always sounded a bit like some disease to me.
Jennifer
vs
Juniper: Don't like either one but Jennifer doesn't sound so damn cutesy.
Susannah
vs
Sienna: Sienna, though Susannah is okay.
Kirk
vs
Kai: Kirk, but not real happy about it.
Yvonne
vs
Ivy: I like them both but Yvonne is prettier and less pet-like.
Edna
vs
Eden: Eden but it's not saying much.
Roger
vs
Ryker: Neither, but if I had to choose or be shot, it's Roger.
Millicent
vs
Madison: Again, hard choice, but I guess Madison.
Roy
vs
Rex: They're both awful but at least Roy doesn't sound like a dog. Seriously, Rex? Why do people even do this anymore?
Curtis
vs
Crew: Curtis, I guess.
Sheila
vs
Shayla: Shayla, for sure.
Earl
vs
Arlo: Arlo sounds less tlike throwing up.
Beverly
vs
Everly: Beverly, but not happy.
Anselm
vs
Axel: Medieval monk versus car part? Neither.
Arlene
vs
Harlow: At least Arlene is obviously a girl's name.
Nellie
vs
Navy: Neither.

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!
