Re: Australian names...
in reply to a message by Amphelise
I never thought Dimity was Australian; it's the name of a minor (very minor, really) character in Gone With the Wind, and I believe there's a series of cozy mysteries about somebody called Aunt Dimity. (Don't know for sure if there's an Australian connection there.)
Some of these look Welsh (Raewyn) some like mashups (Kiralee) and some like the kind of thing US parents might make up in the seventies or eighties.
Most of them are just too unfamiliar for me to form any opinion of them beyond their sound. I will say that Narelle somehow makes me think of soap or shampoo or maybe even toilet paper; it just has a producty vibe to it.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
