HelpRe: Eileen and “een” names
in reply to a message by )(
I think een names will have a Renaissance. I'm seeing hints of people favouring names that I associate with kind of dorky 60s or 70s vibe, and the eens fit right in with that sort of crowd. My husband likes the name Eileen, so the fans are out there!
I could see stuff like Francine, Helene, Nadine, Janine, Jolene and Kathleen making a comeback. Maybe not a huge one, but something. Some of the een names have a hipster sort of ring to them. They are daring in their awkward realness.
I've known a few eens. A young Maureen, a young Selene. A Colleen, a Jeannine. I have a great aunt Doreen.
Originally I was not a fan of these names, but seeing other people appreciate them is changing my mind. They do have a certain pluck that I genuinely admire.
