HelpRe: Names you've wildly changed your opinion of
in reply to a message by G
Hamish is probably the one name I really changed my opinion of quite drastically. I used to hate it, and it really annoyed me (see the reason below- skip if you don't want a long fangirly ramble), but now it's in my top 10 for boys (and I find boys' names really difficult to like). I think it's so handsome now, and would be so sweet on a little boy.
Okay, so I'm a huge Sherlock fan, and I am constantly on fanfiction.net browsing some fanfics just to see me through until it comes back. Sometimes I skim stories if there are any kids involved, just to see what they're called. Anyway, whenever Sherlock and John have a son in a fanfiction the majority of the time he'll be called Hamish, which really irritated/irritates me, since John clearly doesn't like his middle name. Why would you give your own child a name you didn't like? Ugh. But ironically I properly read one story with the most adorable little Hamish, and completely fell in love with it, I don't even care about my other concern that it's reminiscent (in sound especially) of Haymitch. Now, as I said, it's one of my favourite boys' names, and number 7 on my list!
I think that's the only name I've ever hated, but now absolutely love. Usually I go from indifferent to like/love.
