Help[Opinions] Re: Horatio
in reply to a message by Kinga
Tell me the romantic tragic story!
I could perhaps get into Horace given time; it's not that bad, though I'd have to get over Slughorn. But I love Horatio. It is slightly OTT but who cares, it's such a big splendid flourish of a name, waving Hooray (tio) at you in a cheerful manner. There could be something to be said for a calmer middle name, perhaps; but I'd just choose the one with the best story.
I don't know the CSI dude so here are some of the more interesting Horatio combos from the 1840s birth records:
Horatio Mountain (my fav)
Horatio Folkestone (no idea if that's a family name or if they just had a nice holiday once in Folkestone)
Horatio Colchester (born in Colchester)
Horatio Hamlet
Horatio Augustus
Horatio Lionel
Horatio Regwald
Horatio Francis Henry William Thomas
Horatio Bellamy
Horatio Frohawk
Horatio Winckworth
Horatio Olivia Albert - no typos: it's handwritten. There are also two unrelated Horatio Elizabeths! and a trillion Horatio Nelsons.
