HelpRe: Katrina or Lily?
in reply to a message by Lumiereslove
Katrina. It's very well-rounded. Suits a playful girl or a powerful matron or anyone in between. I know a Katrina who was born in 2005 not long before the disaster. I don't think that anybody who meets her is likely to associate her name with the storm. But then, we don't live anywhere near where it hit.
Lily is ... what word is the counterpart of butch? I dunno. It's overbearingly feminine. I think it's pretty, but wouldn't want to be a Lily.

Really? I always saw Lily as a spunky, smart sort of name, but I know people see things differently, so whatevah.

Yeah, I can see it that way, too, sure. Since when is feminine not spunky and smart? (J/K I know you didn't mean that) I don't think it's a bad name. Sorry if I sounded more negative than I meant to. I like names that seem really feminine, and ones that seem really masculine, and names that are not so gendery. I guess I think of lily-livered and lily-white and that Christina Rossetti poem "The lily has a smooth stalk, will never hurt your hand ..." lol. And the contrast with (slightly prissy) Katrina maybe brought that out.
