Just curious...

What does everyone think of the name Olga (f) ?

And what about Cedric (m)?

Ahh, but see, none of those other names have the same effect for me! I think Clea is actually quite young and sweet while also being very sophisticated. Same with Alice and Arthur.

Olga is on the same page with me as Camille. Immediate "ewww" reaction because to me they both bring to mind a particular image that is not generally one I like. Olga is a hunched little old lady with a temper and Camille is a 60+ lady who tries too hard to look young and has a baseball-glove melanoma tan.

I sound crazy, lol.

Ahah, that's okay.

Camille here (in French Canada) is actually pronounced very differently like "Camiye". I don't think it sounds old at all, but Camille with the "l" sounding as "l's" kinda does. I guess my only reference with Olga is this young person I once met and she was lively and beautiful and free spirited and that's the image that I get.

I know of Camille in the French way as a boy's name.
