HelpRe: Bishop
in reply to a message by Beth0808
I don't like them. I mean, are you going to name your son "Priest"? "Minister"? "Rabbi"? Then why Bishop? -_____- And I dislike Shepherd just as I dislike occupational surnames-turned-first names in general: Taylor, Cooper, Carter, Parker, Mason, Bailey, etc. I mean, if Shepherd, how about Cowherd? Goatherd? Yeah, didn't think so. :P
Archer and Hunter aren't so bad out of the 'occupational' names...maybe because there are real names from other languages, whether Germanic or anything else, with similar meanings. But seriously, as for the rest... if those, why not Baker or Farmer or Barber or Butler or Gardener? I don't get the appeal of naming your son "stone-layer" or "barrel-maker" or "cart-maker", lol.
I think you can tell I don't like occupational surnames as first names in general. xD I think it would be cruel to use Bishop and Shepherd in a sibset. I think it's mean to use them as first names to begin with! :P
