I saw the name Epperly/Apperly (as it is as an English place name) on Gossip Girl yesterday and to me for some reason it sounds cheap, almost like a knock-off of [name]Amberly[/name]. I looked it up and it was originally a variation of the Germanic name [name]Eberhardt[/name]. Maybe I am being to hasty with my dislike for the name, but it just seemed a bit blah… Opinions?
I can’t look at the ‘epper’ part without immediately imagining a P in front of it. [name]Silly[/name] brain.
I can’t stand it.
I wouldn’t use it myself, but I don’t exactly mind it either.
(But I think I was also in the minority over the nn [name]Eppy[/name])
It comes off more preppy than cheap to my ear…like Epperly could easily have a mother named Bibby and a sister named [name]Kitty[/name].
