HelpRe: Hadrian and Everett
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I like Hadrian more every time it's mentioned! It's got a nice cuddly classics-professor feel to it (like Atticus, only less trendy), it's familiar while being fairly uncommon, and it's fun to have your own namesake wall.
It's also a whole lot fresher than Adrian, which is definitely going grey. If the local accent where you live drops its Hs, there might be confusion sometimes, but it's easily corrected. The only Hadrian I know of never used an nn, but Hay and Hady seem like the most logical.
Can't warm to Everett. It probably feels quite traditional in the US, but it isn't here, so it seems mismatched with Patience.
