HelpRe: Elizabeth & Charles
in reply to a message by erb816
I have always liked Charlie quite a lot, but I have never cared for Charles. I don't hate it, but I don't like it. It feels so stuffy in a not-fun way. I like fanciful names, but it just feels "too much" for me even outside the scope of the royal connection. I only tolerate it in connection to the Little House on the Prairie TV series from the 1970s because Michael Landon was a total babe lol XD "Yes.. keep working on that construction with your shirt off in those old timey suspenders on Charles. It gives me life..." Lmao!!
Elizabeth is just top notch in my book. Overused but classic and more substantial and meaningful imo than its peers like Mary or Sarah (though I do love Sarah). It has a particular feminine and graceful air to it whoever it's on. Rare to see it in full these days but I have known a couple of Elizabeths in my life who committed to the full name. But it is interesting how different Elizabeth nicknames come in and out of fashion through the years. I'm usually most torn between Elsa and Beth. I've loved Elsa since I was a kid and saw the movie Born Free about the lioness Elsa, and named a cat after her. I wanted to use Elsa once upon a time long before I decided I best liked Evangeline / Eva at age 12. So it has been Quite a long time for me in my naming fandom pantheon. But then Frozen came along and for better or worse tied itself to the image of Elsa for the foreseeable future. It is in part because of my predominantly German heritage and in part because of aesthetic that I prefer Elisabeth. The s feels so much softer and more personable to me in comparison to the z spelling but I don't mind the z spelling as well, Elisabeth is just my preference. It may be an inconvenient to have the S spelling in America but if I had an Elisabeth daughter that is how I would pick it to be spelled. My favorite pedestrian combo is Elisabeth Kate. My favorite adventurous combo is Elisabeth Rosebelle.
RIP HRH
also Charles should totally get a King Charles Spaniel now it would be hilarious
