[Opinions] Re: I kinda think that's worse... [m]
Doesn't have to be romantic or even specific, I just want it to be appropriate to a person. Sextus and Septimus meant sixth and seventh. Like, the seventh someone or something. Seven is just a number - an abstraction for manipulation by the mind. Creeps me out. Like naming someone "?" it has almost no meaning. IMO.I think the only reasons people work with 7 as a name, and not so much other numbers (nobody's proposing naming kids Five or Nineteen - see what I mean? I hope), is because it sounds like Kevin and Evan and whatever, and because 7 is symbolic or a magic number. This latter reason also makes it creepy to me.
