[Opinions] Grover
Replies
I don't think of Sesame Street exactly, but I do think of green shag rugs (and Oscar?).
It seems very...midcentury grunge or fuzzy in an avant-garde jazz type way.
It's garish and works about like Garfield / Homer / Elmer / Chester would, though possibly a little more fashionably, like Otis / Oscar / Gus / Asher.
Also, sounds like it could be unisex in a modern context (Harper, Piper, Juniper, Parker, Hunter, River, Clover, Grover).
I like Grover more than Percy or Annabeth ...maybe because it seems less proper, but I don't strongly like/dislike any of them.
Percy sounds a little persnickety/parsimonious/chivalrous and Annabeth sounds conventional/happy-go-lucky.

I don't know if kids still watch Sesame Street, but I like Grover. It's push-broom mustache walrus president, but I like it. It's so ugly, it's cute.
I'm not sure my family is the norm, but my kids (6 and 4) know Grover from Sesame Street. I quite like Grover and might use it if it weren't for the monster. It feels a bit old and nerdy to me, but I tend to like names that feel that way.
Percy is okay. I like it more as short for Percival than for Perseus. It makes me think of the Engine from Thomas the Tank Engine though.
Annabeth is saccharine. Better than Annabel, but it just takes two swedish names and smashes them together.

Sesame Street is still very popular with kids. It keeps evolving and changing, but Grover is still a big part of the cast.
It's so heavily associated with the show for so many people and for so long I don't think it would be a great name to give a boy today. He would get awfully tired of being called lovable furry old Grover".
Percy is a cliched posh English fop name.
Annabeth is cutesy.
