I don't like
Desmond and
Raymond at all, though I love
Rosamond for a girl.
Both names seem dated and dusty and dull. I've only known elderly Desmonds, and the youngest
Raymond I knew is in his 40s. Here in South
Africa they are both overwhelmingly white.
I'd never use
Raymond, or any other name I disliked.
I'd never use
Ray either;
Roy is a family name which I'd gladly use as a mn, and they're just too close.
I've never met, seen or heard of a
Myron where I live. I'd expect a
Myron to be American, but what kind of American, I don't know.
I don't like the look or the sound of it; it reminds me a bit of
Hiram, which I don't enjoy either.
