Re: Raymond
in reply to a message by mirfak
I don't like Desmond and Raymond at all, though I love Rosamond for a girl.
Both names seem dated and dusty and dull. I've only known elderly Desmonds, and the youngest Raymond I knew is in his 40s. Here in South Africa they are both overwhelmingly white.
I'd never use Raymond, or any other name I disliked.
I'd never use Ray either; Roy is a family name which I'd gladly use as a mn, and they're just too close.
I've never met, seen or heard of a Myron where I live. I'd expect a Myron to be American, but what kind of American, I don't know.
I don't like the look or the sound of it; it reminds me a bit of Hiram, which I don't enjoy either.
