I met my first Isabelle today. It's never been a name that I cared about either way, but when I heard it on an actual person, I thought, "wow, it's entirely way too princess-y, over-the-top, and only works in theory."

So, whether that's your opinion or not, I was wondering: do any of you have names that you liked until you heard it on an actual person, and then just thought, "wow, that does not work"?

you know...now that I think about it, I've only met one Isabelle too, and it does seem too dramatic for a person. especially because this person was a four year old girl.

a woman at church named her baby Ava, and I hadn't thought much of it before but then when I heard it on an actual person it was strange. especially because Ava on a baby seems weird to me. it's not necessarily an old lady name to me, but it does seem a bit fanciful. maybe I think of the Gabor sisters, even though that one was an Eva.

I used to like the Truman, but I can't really see it on a person.
