Re: West
in reply to a message by Ismene
A guy who used to live down the street from me was named Westley. He would sometimes be called West. I prefer that over Wesley, because the latter just seems whiny and nerdy to me. It's too soft for me to really enjoy. That may be because I met Westley when I was fairly young--before I knew of Wesley--so when I finally heard Wesley, I didn't like it. So I like Westley better and don't think of it as contrived.
