Yeah, I didn't really like it with
Raymond either. It's just that we have two boys MNs, as we plan on honouring family members with all our children's middle names, so I always put first names I'm considering with each of them to see how it sounds.
I'm not so sure if it's MUCH too
Dorian Gray, but perhaps a little.
My only thought is that the general public hasn't read it or even heard of it. I'm not ruling it out, but you are right... the association is obviously very strong.
