I’m starting to really like [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]! First off I think of waves, motion, and spontaneity which are fun connections. But then I started to think about wavering, like between choices, etc.
So here’s the question: Does [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] sound like the name of a person who is indecisive?
Well, yeah, kind of. To me anyway. It’s not the most decisive sounding name. [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] sound decisive with their consonants and admirable sounds and [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] sounds a bit meandering.
But it also reminds me of [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] crackers whose buttery taste I always enjoyed and [name_m]Sir[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_u]Scott[/name_u] and a character I played in our HS play senior year, so I don’t simply think wavery when I think of it.
Miranda will always remind me of [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] rights and yeah that sounds decisive, like you’ve probably made some bad decisions. Lol about the crackers. Made me think of Chicken in a Biskit crackers for some random reason.
Oh my gosh, yes, old cracker brands! I don’t think of rights with [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] so much as the children’s books by [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Enright and [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]’s [name_f]Miranda[/name_f].
Kind of, but for a different reason – it reminds me of an adverb. It doesn’t feel very grounded. But it wouldn’t be enough to put me off from the name!
Not at all! It makes me think of waves and the ocean and also… White [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]! Thanks to [name_m]General[/name_m] [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] lol. Both are nice associations imo; I would love to meet a little [name_u]Waverly[/name_u].
Maybe… in the same way the name [name_f]Faye[/name_f] makes me think of some one who’s not quite trustworthy. But all the other associations are so positive that the one negative one gets over ruled. I think it’s a great name!
Ultimately I suppose [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] does have an indecisive vibe and I get the wavering between choices but it wouldn’t stop me from using a name. I’m indecisive but my name is [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] which is a solid choice doesn’t shout indecisiveness so I don’t think a name will necessary destine your child to a life of being indecisive! Also I don’t think being indecisive is that negative is not like you associate the name with being deceitful or whatever. I think as name enthusiasts sometimes we are a bit extra when it comes to names and I think this is one of those times if you love it go for it.
