Help[Opinions] Re: Raymond
in reply to a message by mirfak
One of my late uncles was named Raymond. So he is my image for the name. Just a nice, older, southern white man. I used to find the name horribly dated and not all that attractive. Rather bland. But I've been warming up to it lately. I could see someone using the name today. I think the right person could give it a more stylish vibe.
I also have a considerably older cousin named Ray. I haven't seen him in years. But he was a bit wild in his wayward youth. That's my image for Ray. Maybe him and the fabulous Ray Charles. It feels slightly more modern than Raymond. But still pretty retro. Not sure it's ready for a comeback. I think I'd use Raymond over Ray if forced to choose today.
Myron is just all kinds of awful. I've never met one. That's all to the good. I would not wish the name on anyone. Not ever.
