Hm, agree on Sebastian. [m]
in reply to a message by Elinor
It's a romance-novel name.
Roger, on the other hand, is only British seeming in the US if you are Anglophile enough to expose yourself to British trends... either that or I'm out of touch out here in Texas. Roger's just a name used a lot in the 50s & 60s in the US and is a bit dated, in my world. My sister's seeing a guy named Roger. Very butch, very suitable for a normal white guy in his late 30s or older. I agree with you, though, Elinor, about the "rodger" thing .. that word is heard ever so rarely here, but it does taint the name just a tiny tad. "Roger" as it is used for radio communications is a more immediate association.
