What do you think of [name]Homer[/name]? Is it usable? I know it won’t be to everyone’s taste, but I really adore it. [name]Just[/name] wondering if people think that The Simpsons has pushed it into [name]Kermit[/name] and [name]Elmo[/name] territory. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Definitely makes me think of the Simpsons first, then the Iliad and the Odyssey second. It just isn’t such an attractive sounding name to me in general.
I’m so tickled [name]Homer[/name] is starting to get some attention.
I also love [name]Homer[/name]. If [name]Oscar[/name] can overcome the Grouch, then [name]Homer[/name] can overcome [name]Simpson[/name]. I’ve never watched The Simpsons so never had that association. I always knew [name]Homer[/name] as the name of two of my great-grandfathers, which is far more important to me than any cartoon character. I say this often: the only way for a name to overcome a pop culture association is for people to use the name again. It’s sad that we continue to let bad characters ruin perfectly nice names. [name]Homer[/name] has such a long and rich history that it is a shame to overlook it because of one dumb cartoon. If you ask me [name]Homer[/name] is due for a comeback anyway, and I’d like to see it on the next wave of vintage names dusted off and recycled for a new generation of boys.
Yes, it reminds me of [name]Homer[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] but I can also picture it on a real boy. I can’t say the same for [name]Kermit[/name] or [name]Elmo[/name].
