Anna: Really common. A friend of mine named Anna loves President Bush, so that's what comes to mind!
Constance: Old and rigid
Christine: the Phantom of the Opera
Elanor: Roosevelt
Elizabeth: pretty/intelligent. Best of both worlds
Emily: Blonde and popular
Ida: Idaho--unfortunate
Joy: a little blonde girl
Linda: Ordinary middle aged woman
Megan: flirty and girlie
Nora: Tomboy--my kid sis is Nora and she has a gorgeous shaved head :-P
Penelope: Cruz
Vanessa: that's mine name. Personally, I don't like it. Too femmy for my taste
Wendy: Peter Pan; I've only known older women with it
Sebastian: I think of the crab from the Little Mermaid!
Winston: Churchill
Victor: Russian guys--all the Victors I've known have been Russian
Oliver: Ollie...a freckled, awkward redhead
Mark: Only as a nickname--I couldn't imagine it as a full name. My stepbrother goes by it...but he's a Marcellus *shudder*
Kevin: typical Joe blow, jock type
Jack: straight laced, everyman
Henry: So old. So very, very old.
Francis: A boy who spent much of junior high in a garbage can
Ernest: The Ernest movies...Ernest goes to Jail
Emmet: Smith...I could see a jock pulling this off
Cornelius: I think of a DC Talk song...no kid could pull this one off
Alexander: perpetually shortened. I don't know one Alexander who actually goes by his full name
