HelpRe: John & Robert
in reply to a message by BehindAName9
John to me is still incredibly boring. So much so its the name for a John Doe. Its an everyman name, and not in a good way. I mean, it isn't a horrible name. It has history and it isn't uber strange but its just so dang boring.
I like Robert, but I also have a family member I would like to honor by using the name so I think my opinion of the name is colored by the fact that I really like and respect that person. I am not sure I would like it as much if I didn't, especially because I really dislike the nn Bob and am on the fence about Rob. I prefer Bert, Hobbes, or Robin as nns.
"Okay, what are your ideas? Taylor? Uh-huh. Fletcher? Cooper? Tanner? Where are you getting these? The Big Book Of Medieval Professions?"
