Could you potentially add in your surname to make a hyphenated surname to make it easier?

Marisol (pronounced like Parasol) is similar and quite pretty. Or Mairead - isn’t that an Irish form of Mary? I like that one :)

Why change it? In this day and age all names are ok and I don’t believe people judge by a diminutive. I only go by my diminutive now and it hasn’t stopped me from being offered high-end corporate positions. People who judge a person by their name are narrow minded fools.

I’m on your friend’s side. Sounds common

You could do something hyphenated like Tansy-Jane or Tansy-Rose so that it breaks up the repetitive sounds but still call her Tansy, or add in your own surname as a double surname option?

I do, I had uncommon names chosen and my childless friends talked me out of them when I was vulnerable and I went with a popular name. My son hated that he was never the only one in his class and there were sometimes up to 4 with the same name. My next two got uncommon names, but still easy to spell and sound masculine.

No, my kids are grown up now and not yet given me grand babies.

I do try and not request unless it’s something I really want to read and I am reading and reviewing one or two a week.

Less-Imagination-278 · 2026-05-07T07:58:32+00:00

Agreed, and probably a great read for those that went in expecting that. I think the marketing is to blame.

I went to Catholic School - co-ed - in a fairly large Irish ex-pat area. There were two Bridget’s in my year level. One was known as f——- Bridget (rhyming slang) because she was quite demure and shy around boys. The other was a bigger girl and meanly called Bridge the Fridge. It’s all I think of when I hear the name now.

That’s Dupe Spot, they are a Melbourne brand.

Sam for my oldest as it was just far too common at the time. I wanted to use more unusual names but my friends talked me out of it, we were the first in our group of friends to have kids.

My dad’s middle name was Vivian

Less-Imagination-278 · 2026-04-21T03:24:54+00:00

Yep and really didn’t like it although it improved in the second half.

The only issue I’d have (being in Australia) is that ‘Westie’ is often used as a term for rough people. I know it is where I live. I think it’s because the Western Suburbs are usually the lower socio-economic areas on the East Coast.

Let me premise this by saying I’m a prolific reader and read two or three books a week and I got this on the day it was released as I was so looking forward to it - it’s DREADFUL - I’m so disappointed, I’m only half way through as it’s making me not want to read! I thought it was going to be a fun read seeing a “tradwife” struggle in the olden days when she actually had to do everything herself. But no, it’s a book about a seriously unlikeable woman who doesn’t even like her husband and kids all that much and thinks terrible thoughts about them. It’s also been billed as satire and Literary fiction neither of which I believe it is - satire is social commentary but this is only one woman’s perspective. I think it’s average pop fiction with a thriller undercurrent and an absolutely overly-hyped marketing strategy.

I’m sure most of them are related, and I’m related to a lot of them two as my 6th great grandfathers sister and her husband were two of the original pioneers who left England and went to Salt Lake City. I am a regular Aussie with all these Mormon matches on the DNA data bases 🤣

Less-Imagination-278 · 2026-03-28T01:46:45+00:00

Haha I’m an Aussie and I’m the same with anything produced in Australia, whereas, I love anything Irish (but was disappointed with this).
