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"?

to me Lilly always starts as an old lady name, because I grew up with an Aunt Lilly (Lillian) (and she's technically my mom's aunt) - But unlike other old lady names, I do actually enjoy hearing this one on a child - and I like it spelled Lily... maybe because Auntie Lilly was never my favorite person :P
