I heard a name I thought was kind of cute today - Geraldine. I would never use it, but I like the way it sounds.It just appeals to me for some reason...

WDYT?

I like it in some weird solid way, of the old fashion sense, but also I guess Im bias it being my grandma's name that Im close to and have lived with all my life. ;]

I don't like it either. It seems so old fashioned to me.

That was the name of an old lady that went to my church so I don't think I'd be able to separate it from being an 'old' name.

I have never liked Geraldine. Or Gerald. When I first heard Geraldine as a child, I thought it sounded like "gelatin" for some reason, so when I hear the name now, I think of being young and sick and being made to eat lots of black cherry Jello (ugh) to stay hydrated.

Not that ANYONE else has that association, but...yeah...Geraldine...no likey.

That is my Aunt's name. She goes by Jerri and Deanie. I don't personally care for it. She doesn't either.

Husbands's grandmother's name:
