[Opinions] Re: Vergil & Virgil
in reply to a message by saphirdufeu
I've known one Virgil, but he was an elderly man, born in 1939. We had the same birthday. He was exactly 21 years older than I am.
The only other association I have of it is as the narrator of the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." "Virgil Caine is my name and I served on the Danville train". I think the song is half the reason that I like it.
Anyhoo, I like it but I'm not so sure it's usable due to the closeness to the word "virgin". I really don't think I'd use it, in spite of liking it. I prefer the Virgil spelling.
