[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Libby but not Elizabeth. [/quote]

Libby is gross. 
Any name that ends in the long e sound is tacky. [/quote]

Like Penelope, Natalie, and Emily?[/quote]

Tammy, Billy, Maggie, Tony, Jenny, Gracie, Charlie, Joanie, Cindy

I love Jenny though. Agree about the others.[/quote]

I love Joanie, Maggie, and I think Gracie is cute for a little girl (I'd just go by Grace as an adult).

I've heard the "endings with long -e is tacky" complaint before but I think it's so case by case. Like I do think the name Tammy is tacky but why is that? I think it's because back in the 80s there were some famous Tammys who were pretty tacky. Whereas the name Emily always sounds classic and pretty to me -- I never think "tacky", I think of Emily Dickinson or Emily Bronte. Cindy sounds like a 90s mom name -- not tacky but not kind of common and old fashioned. But Joanie sounds like a cool girl name to me (and I like it better than Joan).

Names have vibes, and the way you hear it is so heavily influenced by your experience with the name in the past. The idea that all names with a long -e ending are tacky is silly because there is so much variety.[/quote]
