Re: Thoughts on each of these names
in reply to a message by KK
Scarlett feels vampish. Makes me think of O'Hara - hence, slavery in the American South.
I don't like the Mad in Maddalena.
Emma is very proper and buttoned up and so, so dull.
Lily is sweet and green, but far from exciting.
Elena has always felt synthetic and plastic to me in English.
Helen is studious, ambitious, respectable. Not as attractive as Helena.
Leah is fine. Friendly and low-key.
Isabelle is dull.
Ava is breathy and weak. I prefer Eva.
I like EEV-lin, but not the other pronunciations, and I prefer it on a boy.
Kylie is horrible.
I really dislike the sound of Megan.
