Re: Names you don't understand the appeal of
in reply to a message by NobodyOfConsequence
Other than masculine names being used on females, I honestly can't understand the appeal of the name Jude.
From your list, I totally love the name Douglas; it's actually one of my top favorite boy names! I just love everything about it: the way it sounds, the way it looks and the meaning. I'm not a fan of nicknames in general, so I don't blame you if you hate the nickname Doug. It's my theory that people may not really despise a name, but its nickname(s). I say if you plan on covering a name with a nickname, just name the child the nickname! I digress...
