Help[Opinions] Re: Name meaning.
in reply to a message by JDill
I think the answers would be more interesting if people do not look up the name meanings!
People don't expect that name meanings always describe something about the bearer, though. Usually in the polls people are expecting you're asking for an aesthetic, subjective impression, based off how a name sounds to them .. for a person in real life.
I personally feel like Ham does sound "warm" and Tushar does sound "cold," but I sort of cheated since I did look them up.
I feel like an Amanda might hate vegetables, but I can't even picture Odysseus on a real person, it's sort of cartoonish.
