Help[Opinions] Re: Gilbert
in reply to a message by guru
I prefer the french pronunciation for -bert names. But pronouncing it the English way I'd rate Gilbert a 7. I like it but I don't love it. It has a very nerdy old-fashioned appeal. I prefer the nn Gil over the nn Bert.
I think Delbert and Robert are some of the best -bert names. I think I prefer Gilbert over Albert.
An odd note I really like the name Delwyn / Delwin. I met a guy in his late 50's in one of my college classes with this name and he was a really cool guy. I think it was the first time I had heard the name and I thought it was pretty awesome. It is a very old-fashioned name but I feel like it is one of those names that should have a renewal of use.
(Hmmm I was looking into Delwin, it seems that he died two years after I had that class with him. Sad since he was only 58 when he died and I can't find what he died of. I remember we'd often talk about food and he'd talk about how much he loved his wifes cooking. ^_^)
