[Opinions] Re: Nigel
in reply to a message by Bex
1. Do you think Nigel could work as a name? Yes, but maybe not in Australia after you explained what it means there... I found it to be really common when I was in England and met quite a few good-looking Nigel's there :-) And in America I've never met one Nigel - the only American Nigel I can think of is Frasier's brother from the TV show! I think in America it's percieved as very British and a little bit aristocratic. I like it though.2. What would be some good Siblings for Nigel? Hm, Charlotte, Louisa, Emma, Simon, Rupert, Henry... and any name that has a "British" feel to it.3. MN's for Nigel? Soooo many, so how about I just comment on what you've got :-)Mine are:
Nigel Ignatius - I like it. I know an Ignacio (he's Mexican) that goes by Nacho and I quite like him so both names give me good feelings lol.Nigel Ambrose - I don't like Ambrose but I don't think it works well with Nigel anyway. The whole combo seems very hoity-toity, imo.Nigel Barnaby - I like this combo a lot. I used to hate the name Barnaby until I read The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper and it really grew on me and I now I find it adorable. Nigel Phineas - I like Nigel Finn or Nigel Finlay better but Phineas is good too. It's a little bit of a mouthful.Sibs:
Nigel, Constance & Angus
Nigel, Rupert & Eleanor
Nigel, Conrad & LilianI think they're all very fitting. I like the name Constance. It's very classic and pretty.Wdyt?

Yeah -It's not like it matters, I just thought I'd point it out.
