Re: Boris
in reply to a message by Eilis
I can't say I love the sound of Boris, but I'd love to meet a little Boris. :) I would say pair it with a more common name, to balance things out, but you've got a point--it doesn't sound quite 'right' with most mn's. :-/ Part of the problem (for me, at least) is that it sounds like you're calling someone "boorish" when you say a combo--like Boris Charles = boorish Charles. :(

BoorishI hear that quite often, too. Idony suggested Boris Ishmael, which I like very much--but I have to pause before I say it. :-D Anticipating an "Ish" coming up in the next name makes the Boris/boorish thing all the worse for me!
