Help[Opinions] Re: Franklin?
in reply to a message by schandrou
I had a pretty good friend named Franklin. He was funny and personable. However, he was also very geeky/nerdy/dorky, however you want to put it. He suffered from depression and took a cocktail of medications to control it. He could never get a girlfriend because of his nerdiness and was very unhappy about that.
Although I really liked Franklin, his less desirable qualities have strongly marked his name for me. I think of it as a nerdy, depressed name. I have tried reminding myself of Franklin Roosevelt, who was neither nerdy nor depressed, but it just doesn't work.
Addendum: My friend Franklin finally got married when he was about 40 and he's happy now.
