I saw this name and spoke with her regarding an appointment at work today, first for me. Opinions on Regent?
Not usable as a name at all. It sounds more like a title, like [name]King[/name] or [name]Queen[/name] or [name]Prince[/name]. (And the necessity of a regent usually means something’s not going well, like in the case of “mad” [name]King[/name] [name]George[/name] III…) My second thought was the Regency era, and while I love [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name] I wouldn’t choose to reference that with the name Regent! Also, Regent’s [name]Park[/name] is a not-so-nice area of my city.
Yes. And it feels male as it makes me think of [name]Reggis[/name] [name]Philbin[/name].
As in [name]Prince[/name] Regent? It’s a title, not a name. And it seems very masculine, plus the word ‘gent’ in it makes it more so [name]IMO[/name]. It’s quite strongly tied to [name]George[/name] IV too- an angry, fat gambler with a lot of debt who was very unpopular. Yeah, I don’t like it at all!
I fully agree with you all! It does feel very much like a masculine word, and I laughed quietly to myself, as we have a colour at work called Regency, which is a [name]Royal[/name] Purple sort of colour for Bridesmaids dresses! I wonder how she felt about that when she showed up for her appointment!
Another find at work the other day, you’ll love this… Spyce… like, Spice… Maybe she felt Saucier with the Y? o.O
