Mortimer

May be a slightly unpopular opinion, but I love this name. I don't care if it's dated, I think it's strong and masculine. It seems perfect for a goth with the "Mort" meaning.

Looks more like some sort of archaic English word rather than an actual name. The "timer" part stands out to me and the "mort" part makes me think of death.

Who would want to have the root word for death in their name? Besides, this name sounds comically old-fashioned and stuffy.

So old fashioned and surnamey. Please don’t name your kid Mortimer. It sounds ridiculous.

I find this name very ugly, sorry. And yes, I am back to this comment section 2 years later.

This was the name of my first town in Animal Crossing, so that's the main association for me, along with Mortimer Mouse. It's a cool and mature name for a boy that definitely fits an adult, though.

Beautiful and strong name for a boy. It's not that common which makes it much better.

This name to me sounds calm and masculine, I love the meaning and the fact that it is very uncommon, I love the name Mortimer :)

This name sounds creepy. It reminds me a funeral parlor. I would imagine this wouldn't work well on children born nowadays because it sounds so antiquated and musty.

I really like this name for some reason. I tend to be a fan of most old-fashioned names. Granted, I wouldn't use it for my own child, but I sure admire it on others! Shame you rarely hear it anymore.

Very old-fashioned. The name sounds like the name of a geeky, ugly guy from a hundred years ago, it's a very unpleasant-sounding name. The beginning part also makes me think of words like 'mortifying' and 'mortal'. Ugh.

A rarely used name nowadays, maybe, but I don't find it cool at all. I'd never in a million years use that name for my child. Plus (in England, at least) it is more familiar as a surname.
