Re: a few questions
in reply to a message by mirfak
1. Francis called Frank / Frankie - What's your impression and stereotype?
I know a Francis called Frank. He's a stand-up kinda guy, very solid guy, a man's man, goodlooking and hardworking. So naturally that's what I think of the name too. He strictly goes by Frank, however; very few people know his name is Francis. I think he's slightly embarrassed by it, though I think it's perfectly fine.
2. Pick ONE of: Drew or Merrick. Merrick.
3. Robin for a boy: do you think it is very masculine, or does it sound kind of "soft" or weak to you?
I have two images of Robin on a boy: Christopher Robin of Winnie the Pooh fame, and Batman's sidekick (I definitely prefer Chris O'Donnell to Burt Ward!). Christopher Robin is neither soft nor weak; he's just a little boy. But his fn is Christopher, so maybe he shouldn't count. Chris O'Donnell's Robin kicks ass. Let's go with that. ;D
4. Which is nerdier: Keith, or Marshall?
This is tough for me because I don't think either of them is really nerdy. Uh... Keith. But it's a 51/49 split.
5. How do YOU pronounce Leif?
Leaf.
6. Which of these names I've mentioned do you like most? Least?
I like Merrick best, and Keith least.
