in reply to a message by Bear
Agatha- It's very nice, and the nn Aggie is awfully cute...but I don't think it'll be making any sort of comeback soon.
Ailsa- Never heard of it, but sounds Scottish or something of the sort, and if it is, people'll rediscover it.
Bess- Very cute as a nn for Elizabeth.
Blanche- The sound isn't very nice imo. And it reminds me of the word blanch. Like somebody turning pale.
Cora- Sounds like big comeback material. And a pretty name.
Cornelia- I'm planning on calling my first daughter Nili, and I want her to have an English name too just for the fun of it. I love the name Cornelia, and Nili could probably be a nn for it, so I think I might have a Cornelia if no one else does.
Glynis- I don't like it much.
Edith- Pretty, pretty, I like!
Edwina- Also nice.
Elsa- Will definitely make a comeback - it's classy, and it's sort and sweet.
Enid- Reminds me of arachnids and Enid Blyton.
Eugenia- Very classy. Could come back.
Frederica / Fredricka- I love Frederica, but Frederick will probably have to come back first (I don't think it's very popular now)
Hester- I'm reading a book with a Hester in it! Very nice name. I prefer Ester though (es-TER).
Imelda- Pretty name! Very pretty. I'm adding it to my list.
Jean- I love it!
Joan- Nice.
Muriel- Too old-lady and not very pretty...
Myra- Sounds like good comeback material.
Olympia- I like it a lot. Yay for mythology.
Regina- It's very nice. Sounds like it could come back.
Renata- Will definitely come back.
Sibyl- Ooh, I love this name! Excellent name. *Adds to list* Comeback... maybe!
Ursula- I absolutely love it. Probably won't come back in the Disney generation (This one and the next one, I think), though. Too bad. It's really pretty.
Wilhelmina- I like it a lot.
Winifred- Great name. Love it.I want Irene, Ida, Martha, Sylvia, Ellen, Maud, Opal, Myrtle and a whole lot more to come back...
