The main character in real life is [name]Sutton[/name], which I thought was pretty, but they gave her the name [name]Michelle[/name] in the show. Too plain for her personality.
[name]Sasha[/name] is gorgeous and I really like Hubbel. I agree, [name]Michelle[/name] is underwhelming for her character.
[name]Favorite[/name] name on the show though is [name]Bettina[/name] nn Boo!
I really like [name]Truly[/name] (the character and the name). I also like the alliteration of [name]Fanny[/name] Flowers. ASP has really come up with an odd assortment of ladies. On the one hand, we have some really old names/nicknames - [name]Fanny[/name] and [name]Bettina[/name] are both nns-cum-appellations, and neither are heard often, if at all, anymore. [name]Nanette[/name], Boo’s mother, also has a very old-fashioned moniker. On the other hand, we have some kind-of-dated daisies, like [name]Ginny[/name], [name]Melanie[/name], and [name]Michelle[/name]. And then, on the third hand, we have some out-there gems, like Hubbel, [name]Truly[/name], and Godot.
[name]Amy[/name] has always been good with names, so maybe we’ll find something out about [name]Michelle[/name] that makes her name really work (hey - maybe it’s not even her real name!). In the mean time, keep pate boure-ing :3
Also, I love [name]Sasha[/name] and [name]Talia[/name] (again, characters and names ;)) - and did y’all notice that one of [name]Fanny[/name]'s friends is named [name]Vi[/name]? [name]Even[/name] if it’s not short for [name]Violet[/name] or [name]Viola[/name] (or any other [name]Vi[/name]-prefixed name), I totally dig it!
I agree. I forgot how much I’ve missed having an [name]Amy[/name] [name]Sherman[/name] Palladino show on TV! The woman is a genius.
On [name]Gilmore[/name] Girls, I loved [name]Lorelai[/name], [name]Sookie[/name], [name]Babette[/name], [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Gypsy[/name], [name]Gigi[/name]…so many perfectly fitting names. Bunheads [name]Michelle[/name] kind of makes me laugh because I keep thinking of [name]Michel[/name] from [name]Gilmore[/name] Girls!
[name]Truly[/name] is growing on me, both as a name and a character.
[name]Sash[/name] and [name]Talia[/name] have a very Russian sound, which fits perfectly with a show centered around ballet since [name]Russia[/name] produces so many world-class ballerinas. [name]Truly[/name] is probably my favorite name. Boo is cute and I like her character a lot, but I definitely wouldn’t try that as a name for my own daughter!
Wow lots of adorable names, especially [name]Bettina[/name] and [name]Truly[/name]. I know a girl whose mn is [name]Nanette[/name] and two Fannys! I can’t see [name]Fanny[/name] working here though seeing how it’s a nn for a body part
