[Opinions] Parfitt & Elisha
Parfitt and Elisha are two brothers I used to know. What struck me most was how unusual their names were for where I lived at the time.

I really like Elisha. Parfitt, not so much.

I don’t like Parfitt, but Elisha for a boy is a GP for me.

I love Elisha. Parfitt sounds like a family surname perhaps?

Both very unusual names, certainly for where I live, but from completely different naming traditions. Perhaps the parents took turns in naming their children? Or had two people they wanted to name the boys after, who themselves came from diverse backgrouds?

I think these two names are really sweet, cool and outstanding. It could be impossible not distinguishing these two brothers. Despite this, they sound a bit anachronistic to me. But I would ride the wave and give these name to real children too. After all, what's wrong with unfashionable and unused names?
