I keep coming across names that I think are usable…only to find they are on the nerd or un-usable lists. It kind of makes me sad! Am I just desensitized to “nerd” names?
These are just a few examples: (the list could go on)
“[name]Burton[/name]” is listed as being “[name]Prissy[/name] no matter how you spell it” When I think of [name]Burton[/name] I think of snowboarding(hardly prissy) and artistic movies!
“[name]Sheldon[/name]” Is listed as being about as “far out as you can get” I knew a [name]Sheldon[/name] and he was a cool guy. I never thought of his name as being far out there.
“[name]Melvin[/name]” I didn’t used to like it, but now I think it has a sweet ring to it and “[name]Vinny[/name]” is kinda cute to me
“[name]Oswald[/name]” I think the nickname “[name]Ozzy[/name]” makes it awesome and I like how it sounds.
“[name]Elmer[/name]” This is very close to my sons name and I don’t see how [name]Elmer[/name] Fudd and [name]Elmer[/name]'s glue make it so bad. I was at the airport once and there was a little [name]Elmer[/name] there. I almost freaked out because I thought his parents were calling him my son’s name [name]Delmer[/name]. (It would be crazy to run into someone with his name since it is so uncommon. I still think it was a great coincidence I ran into an [name]Elmer[/name].) I found it wearable. Plus it has the popular “el” sound and I like the nickname “[name]Elm[/name]”.
“[name]Edmund[/name]” and “[name]Edwin[/name]” I don’t see how they are much different from “[name]Edward[/name]” which Twilight has made popular
In my opinion these names aren’t so bad. I don’t see how “[name]Sebastian[/name]” and “[name]Archibald[/name]” are any “cooler”(which I have seen being used lately). To me all names have character, and unless they are something truly degrading…I don’t see them as being so bad
Sometimes it bugs me that certain names are “nerdy” until they becomes popular in a movie or a celebrity uses them.
OR…maybe I am just getting desensitized to names. Are there any names that you see wearable that other people seem to bag on??
