[Opinions] Re: Travis
in reply to a message by gigibee
I was a little surprised to read that too since I've never considered Travis to be "trashy" or "tacky." It's more trendy and surnamey to me and no better or worse than many names, imo.
You know, for years, I was a regular on another name site. Whenever my dd's name came up (Katherine), you wouldn't believe the negative comments. People (and I strongly suspect it was the same few people over and over again because the comments were always similar) would say things like how ponderous and masculine it was (masculine???) and how it sounded like the name of a hairy lesbian yet Kathleen was like a lyrical, leprechaun-esque breath of fresh air. How they arrived at these conclusions is beyond me. Then again, perception is everything, apparently, and everyone is entitled to an opinion. Try not to let it get you down.
