HelpRe: I don't think you'd call them "extremely stylish"
in reply to a message by Aine
I know what you are saying, but to me, extremely stylish things aren't generally stylish to most people. In fact, true style, in my opinion, often bypasses most people, and that is the component which makes these things stylish. I have also observed that inaccessibility is often a criterion for style (the fact that most people simply wouldn't be able to "pull off" certain things). Most people I see are not stylish, but I can recognize the ones who are, and they are always imitated, usually 3 years later.
Casper and Felix, I feel, are well on their way to being trampled, and it pains me deeply to say so as I adore both, and would especially like to sire the only Felix in the state of Virginia. One can only hope.
This is often the reason why I am back and forth on whether to take the [perhaps fleetingly] stylish Felix, Edwin and Magdalene path, or the safely classic Isaac, Benjamin and Elizabeth path.
Even when I was very young, I was always a bit of a trend setter, always being the first to try something no one else would think of. The current cultural associations (Fudd, glue), which I don't find particularly egregious, set the name up for this type of allure.
As for Elmer, I am glad I like the name now, too. It also happens to be my great-grandfather Cuff's name.
It always seems like the unthinkable suddenly becomes fresh. I would not be surprised if Dorcas and Nimrod have their time in the limelight once again some day (not my current taste, for the record).
