Re: Aeson, Gamaliel and Evander
in reply to a message by Aine
Love them all, even though Aeson on first glance is going to look like the worst sort of contrived name (trendy sound, creative spelling), even though it's not, lol. I would stick away from Gamaliel simply because of the Warren G. Harding association...he's not my favorite president, and he's certainly the only Gamaliel I'll ever heard of, so it just seems like he owns it, you know? That said, I really do love the sound and origin/meaning of all three names, and would quite like them on someone else's children.

Until you and Array both mentioned Warren G Harding and I went and looked him up, I had never heard of him. I am Australian so it is probably fair to assume that the majority of Aussies haven't heard of him either. But now that I have looked him, he would be the last namesake I would ever want!
I honestly dislike Gamaliel (too feminine for a boy to me) so it doesn't really matter to me all that much.
Thanks for the opinions!
