[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’m a fan of old-fashioned names, but melodically, Fern is a bit unlovely.[/b] It doesn’t roll off the tongue nicely, it gets buried in the “r” and runs up hard against the stop of the “n”. As a point in its favor, the single vowel means it would yell nicely out the back door on a summer evening: “Feeerrr-errrn! Time to come in!” If you pair it with a middle name that balances your last name well, you can use the full name with authority whenever she’s in serious trouble. But for me, it just doesn’t roll off the tongue. [/quote] +1 I was tooling around on Nymblr a couple of days ago and Fern kept coming up based on my inputs. This was my takeaway too. I like old-fashioned, and I like nature-inspired, but phonetically Fern just doesn't do it for me. I think it is a good middle name option, though.[/quote]
