Help[Opinions] Humphrey and Nikita
Two quite different names, I know.
I encountered an only-just-an-adult Humphrey a few years ago, and, having seen it in such a new light, I found myself becoming quite fond of it. Only now, however, am I pondering whether it's universally usable, or whether the Humphrey I encountered had something about him that meant he could pull it off.
Thoughts?
Nikita I've encountered on both genders on people around my age, never much older or much younger, and I've been contemplating it as a boys' name on-and-off for some time now. I was researching it again today, and looked at the original form of Niketas, which, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pronouncing as nie-KEE-tahs, though I'd be tempted to Anglicise it to nee-KEE-tahs.
What do you think of both Nikita and Niketas? Which do you prefer?
Much obliged!
