Help[Opinions] Re: Norman?
in reply to a message by RowenaRavenclaw
It was the movie, "Legends Of The Fall" which changed my mind on Norman quite some years back. Prior, I could only see Norman as a stuffy old man but the character in the film, from whose point of view the story is told, is seen from childhood to old age and is a bright, handsome, good-hearted, decent fella. Can't help but like him, and it has softened me to the name. Not sure I would go for it as a first name, but I agree it would make a fine middle name. (It even looks as though I've likely got Norman ancestry.) I've never tried to pair Norman, and I'm not sure what sorts of names you like really: Octavius Norman?...
Alastair Norman
Aurelius Norman
Barnaby Norman
Cassius Norman
Cedrick Norman
Clive Norman
Cyrus Norman
Elias Norman
Ellery Norman
Frederick Norman - actually I like Norman Frederick better.
Gray Norman
Miles Norman
Samuel Norman
Theodore Norman
Timothy Norman
Tolbert Norman
Vincent Norman
Westley Norman
Alastair Norman
Aurelius Norman
Barnaby Norman
Cassius Norman
Cedrick Norman
Clive Norman
Cyrus Norman
Elias Norman
Ellery Norman
Frederick Norman - actually I like Norman Frederick better.
Gray Norman
Miles Norman
Samuel Norman
Theodore Norman
Timothy Norman
Tolbert Norman
Vincent Norman
Westley Norman

Octavius Norman is gorgeous!
Actually, you've got quite a handle on names that I like. I liked:
Alastair Norman
Aurelius Norman
Barnaby Norman - LOVE this!
Cedrick Norman - this might be a little TOO Nanny McPhee (Cedric was the name of the father in the first movie)
Clive Norman
Elias Norman
Frederick Norman
Miles Norman
Timothy Norman
Tolbert Norman - This caught my eye; I've never heard of Tolbert before, but is it weird that the resemblance to 'tollbooth' is what draws me?
Westley Norman - would've prefered Wesley Norman, but Westley is quite fine, too (reminds me of The Princess Bride).

"My dear sweet Westley"...
...I can't help but adore it; what can I say? :)
Didn't know about the Cedrick & Norman - "McPhee" connection, sorry. I was wondering if the Cedrick - "Potter" connection was too great.
Tolbert is the name of an ancestor of mine. Didn't know about him until I discovered him in the census records. Just liked his name because it was refreshingly different. Had to laugh at 'tollbooth'...strange, maybe, but whatever works for you! :)

Buttercup is a GP for me, too. ;)
Cedric isn't too "Potter" for me; actually, Vincent Norman is also too "McPhee," as Norman's younger brother is Vincent.
Tolbert...Probably too close to Albert for me to ever use, though. *sigh*
