Re: How about...

I agree - especially with Ebenezer.
Probably approaching twenty years prior, my ex and I ate at a restaurant with the name Ebenezer in the title. I briefly met the either owner or manager: I don't remember if that were his personal name or not - but of course, I remembered the name--and his "person" overcame all "scrooge-like" associations: so, surpassing this, now we have all the qualities that a multi-syllable "old fashioned" style name (or how-ever else we may classify it) upon which to conjugate, opine, and theorize. So if I were an Ebenezer, would my nick name be Abe, Evan, Eve - pet name - Evie?; perhaps these short name are too fem - so could this name popularity move more toward ladies - Ebeneza for Neecie?
