Re: Long vs. Short
in reply to a message by Solveig
I'm the opposite of you. I always wished I had a longer name with nickname potential growing up, so that's something I like in a name.
Mine:
Leah - love
Nora - I prefer it to my own spelling, but it's still hard for me to judge!
Gwen - nice, but I'd only use it as a nickname because it feels incomplete to me
Naomi - I'm not a fan. I can't put my finger on why, because I like how it looks, I like many of the elements, but something about it just isn't for me.
Grace - love love love
Claire - I prefer Clare and I much prefer Clara to either spelling, but it's sweet.
Julia - This used to be a favorite of mine, but I think I'm a little tired of it. It's nice though.
Paul - love
His:
Genevieve - I wouldn't use it, but I do like it.
Katarina - I like Katherine much better. It feels a bit like it's trying too hard to me.
Eleanor - love
Malcolm - sooo heavily associated with Malcolm in the Middle for me that I can't imagine using it.
Raphael - I'm not a fan.
