Re: Orion
in reply to a message by beethoven
Orion bugs the heck outta me for no real reason. It's too...something. Too silly? Too dramatic? Too icky feeling in my mouth when I say it? I don't know, but I've never liked it, and I doubt I ever will.
When I meet an Orion, I don't think much of it. It's becoming common enough that it doesn't raise eyebrows. I might think "Eeesh, I hate that name" but that is the extent of it.
Could my partner talk me into using it? No, I think there's zero chance of that. I could maybe be talked into a name I feel nothing towards or only sort of like, but names I flat-out hate would be removed from consideration. (I would do the same for him.)
I expect an Orion to have a servicable, classic masculine name, like James, Henry, or Michael.
