Help[Opinions] Re: Bess (eta)
in reply to a message by Tuesday
Love, love, love Bess. It's pure country sunshine with vintage charm. I like the slightly "heavy" (for lack of a better term) feeling of it.
I use it more as a middle name when suggesting combos like Eleanor Bess.
ETA: All the cow referenced in the other responses remind me of years ago when I used to suggest Elsa, before Disney brought it back. "Oh, no! That's a cow's name." Or Rex. "Oh, no! That's a dog's name." There isn't a famous Rex right now, but it feels as though that wall is crumbling, going by another site I visit. Hopefully, Bess will find its way back into the zeitgeist again. :0)

Elsa the cow was a mascot for the Borden Dairy company. Not sure if they still use it. Growing up I associated Else with the lioness in "Born Free." Plus, nn Elsie is so cute. I used to watch a log of Old Hollywood movies and if there was a female Cockney in one they always called her Elsie. It used to make this little name-nerd so irritated that everyone else (here in the U.S. at least) thought of it *only* as a cow's name. I love cows so even that reference didn't deter me in my campaign to bring back the name. Then with one stroke of a computer Disney brought the name back. Yay, Disney!
Glad you still like Bessie, even with the cow reference. And thanks for loving Eleanor Bess. I get the dinosaur connection to Rex. Hey, if I get one out of two on Elsa / Rex I'm above par. Thanks for the feedback! :0)

I hope that's true about Rex, as I love it.
