I kinda like it...never thought I would say that about Judy, but it's got a retro feel that's kind of appealing in this day and age.

Judy is the mother's mother who passed away a couple years ago due to a car accident.

Meryl has a certain class for me, just because Meryl Streep is aging so gracefully--without all of the Botox and lifts and she's still just lovely.

(But I like tailored, clipped names...I'm goofy that way.)

But Estella is the girl from "Great Expectations." She's not a nice character, but I love seeing people use the old-fashioned literary names. I find them much fresher and newer than the things that have been freshly minted in the last eight years. (Seriously, one more "add -ley to a random first syllable" name and something rude may pop out of my mouth.) I'll take Estella any day!
