[Opinions] Re: Alastor
in reply to a message by guasguendi
You know what, I love both. Both Alastor and Alistair are equally great spellings. I'd default to Alistair because the spelling is more "established" but it's very close.
I do not like the nickname Al, though, I'm going to be honest. But yes, Alistair / Alastor should be used more imo
What comes to mind are;
Alastor Moody from Harry Potter. Big beefy bloke with a false eye (https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Alastor_Moody if you're unfamiliar with the series) and while he's not the most attractive face, he's courageous and strategic. We're not wholly including his portrayal in the 4th movie as he wasn't actually Moody, he was being impersonated by a Death Eater, but still I liked his character.
Then there's Crystal Tipps and Alistair which isn't something I've watched enough of to give you an impression of Alistair (the dog), but it's one of the most obviously 1970s British cartoons
Alistair, to me, is a hippy-era name even though it's not a "hippy name"
Then there's Alastair Stewart, a British newscaster and journalist who seems to be a good bloke. He presented well, I grew up with him as one of the mainstays, but he's also known for his charity work
I get good vibes from Alistair / Alastor
