[Opinions] Re: Alan?
in reply to a message by beethoven
Alan - I've been suddenly coming around on this the past few months. I'm not sure if I prefer Alan or Allen yet. Both are too familiar to me (Alan is my brother's mn, Allen is my husband's mn), which is mostly why I've never thought much about them. But Alan does have something neat about it. It makes me think of baseball.
Clay - Really not a fan. It has this uneducated, innocent feel to it. It would be good for that type of character, and maybe I could see having an appreciation for it. But truly liking it, I just can't see that ever happening.
I haven't begun to enjoy a name I'd picked for a character that I thought was bad, but I've had multiple situations where I've felt neutral about a name I picked and then came to like it because of the character. It's funny that some names I have so tied to certain "people," yet these people are entirely in my head. And documents on my computer.
