Help[Opinions] Re: Berry
in reply to a message by Ismene
I was served by a waitress named Berry once. "Like Strawberry," she said. I assumed she said that to distinguish her name from the name Barry.
I thought it was eccentric, but okay. Not nearly as bad as Peaches or Apple or Plum. The only bad thing about Berry is it reminds of the male name Barry, and Barry seems about as appealing as Dick these days. But that's not so bad, because Barry is a rare name. The image of a generic berry is not all that food-y... it just sounds happily naturey, without seeming too edible or sensual. I don't think Berry would make a good name for a man at all, though. That would seem sort of funny to me.
