Help[Opinions] Re: Willoughby
in reply to a message by Tiggs
The Austen reference is what makes it hipster, not the Will part. The easiness of nn Will makes it not gutsy enough to be truly hipster (whether it's intended to call him Will or not).
I agree about a "romantic air," I get that, but it's no Darcy. The contrast between the baying-hound sound of Willoughby and the excess aristocraticness of the surname makes it feel too ridiculous to be a romantic hero name, even if the character had been one. JMHO
