HelpRe: Raymond
in reply to a message by Manipura
I'd like to point out that baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964.
My grandpa was named Raymon but he sometimes went by his middle name.
I think Raymond is a fine name, associated with the human race. I prefer Raymond to Ray.
Myron is an awful name but I have 0 associations.

I'm not sure why you're pointing that out in response to me or if you're just replying to mirfak. If it's because I specifically choose the words "alive during the 1970s", that was meant to include boomers + older people + slightly younger people. Because the name itself, if I'm thinking about within a timeframe, evokes a 70s aesthetic to me.

I use a more vernacular American definition of baby boomer, myself. I don't characterize a cultural generation according to a statistical chart of birth rates. When I say baby boomer I mean someone who was a young adult, voting / conscription age during the Vietnam War. Because that's part of the stereotypical cultural experience that identifies a baby boomer in the US. People who were still children during the late sixties-early 70s in general have a different experience and mindset, than those who were already young adults during that time. I know it doesn't matter as much to younger people, as the birth-rate chart, but to me it is still significant.
Thanks for your answer. Raymon is kinda cool.
