HelpRe: Oakley
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I agree with others who said it has a bad sound. Like Okie.
And it does not make me think of Annie Oakley. It makes me think of sunglasses and other surf-ski-y accessories with a big fat brand name emblazoned all over them. T-shirts. "O" stickers on cars. Doesn't anyone else think of that?? It's kind of like using Hurley as a fn, to me.
I think if you want to honor Annie Oakley you'd make her first name Annie (or Phoebe Ann or Anne or something) and her second name Oakley. Annie Oakley Surname. Then she'd be spared having the ugly fn, and the reference would be crystal clear.
