HelpRe: Bartholomew
in reply to a message by Bex
Mm, Bartholomew is somehow humorous to me. It's just so long, so full of letters, and the "mew" sound is whiney to my ears. I like Barty, but not enough to use its full form.
In theory I suppose Bartholomew is intersting, and I want to like it, but I know that if I was walking down the street and heard a mother call "Bartholomew!!" to her child, I'd secretly think "how pretentious".
I do love both Felix and Kai.
Edited to add: This could be very far-fetched on my part, but I don't know if I'd want the "mew" part of the first name, next to Felix. Since both "mew" and "Felix" could bring cat jokes individually, it might be tempting fate to put them together.
