HelpRe: But had you read the message
in reply to a message by Haven
I didn't immediately associate Colette with the author, so I had no idea what your post was referring to. I'd never heard of her. I figured maybe it was the first name of an author you liked.
If you give a little more background information, people will be more likely to "take it into account" when replying. As it was, it was just a small unspecific clause.
To the reader who didn't know Colette, it read as "I like this name, and I heard of someone with it once." Know what I mean?
But, in response to the original post:
I don't like the name at all. I think it sounds very harsh. I'm reminded of a character in Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" who seems nice, but turns evil by the end. (Well, as evil as Snicket makes his characters, while also reminding readers that no one is perfect).
As for naming after the author, she sounds like a good namesake. Still, I don't like the name itself.
