[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't like it, sorry. It's so strange how some feminine forms of male names like Danielle or Gabriela or Adriana/Adrienne are so beautiful to me, yet ones like Roberta/Henrietta are not.[/quote] It's because Daniel, Gabriel, and Adrian are all musical, latin-derived names. Adding an extra "l" or an "a" to the end simply continue the existing flow of the names. Robert and Henry are both germanic names with harder, harsher consonants and more definitive endings. Adding "a" or "etta" to the end sounds harsh.[/quote]
