Help[Opinions] Re: Audrey - how do you pronounce it? (m)
in reply to a message by Trina
Oh--I didn't realize that you were in New Zealand! That changes things for you; if it's not at all common, I'd go with it.
From m-w.com, this is the definition of "twee": affectedly or excessively dainty, delicate, cute, or quaint.
Its origin is apparently from a baby-talk way of saying "sweet." See, when I see Claire, I just instantly picture a whiny five year old--it seems saccharine to me. Clare, on the other hand, sounds wonderfully strong in my head. I associate that spelling with St. Clare, and with a wonderful woman I met this March.
Array (notoriously picky about things like Claire-v-Clare)

You might even provide a Heaven for them. We need You for that. Hell we can make for ourselves.
