HelpRe: Opinions on the name "Wolvin"?
in reply to a message by wolvin
It's not my bag, but I think it is alright, for a self-name. Not painfully awkward or stupid.
It's sort of self-consciously fey, like a werewolf character name or something.
Wolfen or Wolfin, would be cringe. But Wolvin resonates with other -lvin names like Melvin.
It's kind of like Larkin, only "darker" and not recognizable as a "real" surname name.
I think what matters the most for whether it'd be good in my view, is whether or not it seems to suit you personally. Like whether you carry it humbly and it just seems like a unique name, or whether you're someone who seems to try hard to seem fey, making it seem synthetic and conceited. I can picture people who could carry it off and make it seem cool, and I can picture people on whom it'd seem lame. FWIW I think you *sound* like someone who could carry it off.
