HelpRe: Tarquin? (also, out of curiousity,)
in reply to a message by Tippins
Like it, but the historical Tarquin really wasn't a good namesake, which would put me off. Also, here in Britain it's a total stereotype for a posh idiot, though not quite so badly hit as Rupert in that respect.
Tarquin Lapis-Lazuli is I think a touch over the top, though quite awesome. On a side topic, can I interest you in Tarquin and Torquil as an uber-GP twinset? It came to me recently and I love it more and more guiltily every time either name is mentioned :D
Cecilia I like, though it seems to generally have better rhythm in the MN spot.
Joan I do not like at all, despite the awesome quotient of Joan of Arc. I much prefer Jean.
Minerva I love the idea of, not so much the sound; would be thrilled to meet a little Minerva one of these days.
Benedict I love, again most usually as a MN, though now I think of it Benedict nn Ben would be an easy way round that. And another great namesake (close enough) in the Much Ado character. (My parents know a sibset in their 40s called Alcuin, Benedict, Cyprian, Fabian and Gabriel. Nobody knows what happened to D and E.)
Cornelius I don't like the sound of, but again, would be overjoyed to meet one just for the general wow factor.
