Re: a few questions
in reply to a message by mirfak
1. Francis called Frank / Frankie - What's your impression and stereotype?
A pleasant, quiet, middle-aged Catholic man.
2. Pick ONE of: Drew or Merrick.
Drew (Merrick sounds Lord-of-the-Rings-y to me)
3. Robin for a boy: do you think it is very masculine, or does it sound kind of "soft" or weak to you?
Somewhere in between. The spelling Robyn is the norm for girls here; with Robin it'd be 50/50 in my mind.
4. Which is nerdier: Keith, or Marshall?
Marshall. It's nerdy, while Keith is just old news. I see it (Keith) as a middle-aged office worker's name.
5. How do YOU pronounce Leif?
Lafe
6. Which of these names I've mentioned do you like most? Least?
Most = Drew or Leif. Francis if it were Francis and not Frank
Least = Keith
