Re: a few questions
in reply to a message by mirfak
1. Francis called Frank / Frankie - What's your impression and stereotype?
-I don't really like it, but I think I have a bad association with this name. I think there was a tv show where this was the name of the horrible bully.
2. Pick ONE of: Drew or Merrick.
-I like both of these; however, I thnk I like Drew better. But I like it better as a nickname (as with Andrew and such). I think having a longer given name gives you more options.
3. Robin for a boy: do you think it is very masculine, or does it sound kind of "soft" or weak to you?
-I don't see Robin as very masculine/strong name. It does seem softer.
4. Which is nerdier: Keith, or Marshall?
-Marshall
5. How do YOU pronounce Leif?
-I used to say "Layf" when I was younger. Now my husband is Danish, and they pronounce it more like "Life".
6. Which of these names I've mentioned do you like most? Least?
-Most: Leif, Drew, Keith
Least: Francis
