Re: Thaddeus and James
Thaddeus is ugly ugly ugly. It sounds like a body part, like your thalamus. Thad is gross too, it'th tho thad and lithpy. And Tad just sounds like an asshole of a boy, even more so than Todd.James is very nice, and it has plenty of nns to lighten it up. Jimmy is youthful and unpretentious but grows up reasonably well; Jim is a handsome, down-to-earth grownup. Jay is kind of sophisticated and smart. Jamie ... well, some people think it's cute, I think it's babyish.You're entitled to your own opinions. You're not entitled to your own facts. -- Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Well personally I think of the average James, imagine he's pretty obnoxious to others. On the outside he may seem sophisticated but in the inside he's just a degenerate. Plus every James I knew fits this very description. However, this is just my subjective view. And if you hate Thaddeus because of how it sounds, what about Theodore? They're basically similar.

I want to like Theodore ...Because I really like the nn Ted, but I just can't wholeheartedly like Theodore. The pleasure of using the nn Ted is just not worth the prissy, slightly pompous Theodore.
