Re: Amadeus
in reply to a message by Too pretentious for a first name?
oooo! Rock me, Amadeus ...
Sorry, I grew up in the 80s and it reminds me of that a lot. And I usually "run the Boom Boom Test" on names.
Amadeus is a bit heavy, isn't it? I think you can name a boy Amedeo or Amadeo and few would blink. Although if you run the Dinner Bell test (could you scream it out into the street, "Amedeo Dinnertime!"), it's a pretty low pass IMO.
I'm more in favor of using Amadeus as a middle name.
