Help[Opinions] Re: Joseph and David
in reply to a message by Siri
I don't see what the problem is with David and Joseph being his brothers' mns. I mean, you are always very set on "honoring" names, it seems almost obligatory that you honor somebody in your or his family by using their name.
But if you both don't get along with his brothers, that's something else. lol
I can't really see a modern guy named Abraham. I can't picture Abraham playing Little League, or joining the Boy Scouts, or getting a detention for shooting spitballs in algebra class, or having girls want to go to the prom with him, or any of those modern, ordinary, humdrum things modern guys do.
Katarina is very pretty asa first name. She could pretty much use any nn that Katherine might, though maybe not Kathy. Kat, Kit/Kitty, Kate/Katie, Trina, Trinny, Rina...

Yah...but his brothers are young.
They're not someone I'd honor. When I think of honoring I think of patriarchs and matriarchs. The only way I would honor a sibling is if they passed away.
Thanks!

yes, but I seem to remember...
That you were tossing around one of the names of your triplet nieces, and they're even younger than siblings.

As a middle name, mayhaps.
I wouldn't dream of using one of the names as a first name. Even if I was, it's doubtful that I'd use it. I've given up on Nathaniel, even though he will be a brother-in-law and only goes by Nat. :-(
I think if I used one of the names, it would be fine. But the boys are so close in age and always together that using them both would be too big of a connection.

And then you might end up listening to endless replays of "How come you used HIS name and not mine?" and "Ha ha, she likes me better than you, she used YOUR name!"
