Lead-weights that land with a thud

Boy Names
1

… are the names that intrigue me most lately.

Examples:

[name_m]Algernon[/name_m], [name_m]Archibald[/name_m], [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m], [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m], [name_u]Constantine[/name_u], [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m], [name_m]Everard[/name_m], [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m], [name_m]Hezekiah[/name_m], [name_m]Horace[/name_m], [name_m]Marmaduke[/name_m], [name_m]Stanislaus[/name_m], [name_m]Theobald[/name_m], [name_m]Zebulon[/name_m]

Could you help me think of more as heavy or heavier than these?

[name_m]Algernon[/name_m]! ha! I love that my mind goes to [name_m]Algernon[/name_m] Wheeling straightaway. :slight_smile: I’m not sure–my mind goes to [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] straightaway, but I feel like that’s not really what you’re going for?

[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]? [name_m]Eustace[/name_m]? [name_m]Clarence[/name_m]?

([name_u]Constantine[/name_u], [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] and [name_m]Jedidiah[/name_m] were all on my list, but DH vetoed.)

[name_f]Susan[/name_f]
