[Opinions] Re: Some boys names
in reply to a message by sprout
Adam - very boring indeed.
Frederick - amusingly dated, but I don't mind Fred and could really enjoy Derek, so why not Derick?
Graham - family name, which I like a lot. ETA where I live and how I speak, it's two syllables: GRAYum.
Henry - limp and flabby.
Kit - only as a nn for Christopher, and probably not even then. Very feline.
Nicholas - I like it; DH refused to consider it, saying 'I won't send a son of mine out into the world without underpants.'
Owen - OKish if it's left alone; I met an Owie once and it spoilt my day.
Wilbur - as in Smith? No: there are better ways to achieve a son known as Wil or Will: William obviously, and Wilfred. Wilbur is too dated.
