Help[Opinions] Re: Aderyn
in reply to a message by Sarah
I love the name Griffin... at first I had mythological Celtic thougts of it, until the show Family Guy came on. Now all I can think about is Peter Griffin!

I love Family Guy. heh.
More importantly, though:
I prn it Ah-DUH-ryn. Reply to OP: I think of medication, too, and the DUH sound is completely unappealing. It also just looks like a trendy combination of pretty looking letters that end in an -yn sound. Yay! Yeah...
Griffin I want to like as well, but when Harry Potter became popular, it seemed like every other screenname or fanfic had Griffin in it somewhere (homage to Gryffindor, I suppose. Is that how you spell it? I really don't know because I avoided the series like the plague.) As you can see, that's not a positive association for me. I think it's getting a bit trendy.
Names that I want to like but just can't allow myself to would be those guilty pleasure yuppy style names. I can't help it: Logan, Spencer, Harper, Avery... Just stop me now! I would never actually use them, but they're so darn cute, and I think they could age well when paired appropriately with a good MN... sigh.
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.
