Help[Opinions] Re: Webster, Wystan, Wolfgang
in reply to a message by Pelops
Wolfgang's lofty/rough/present/unsubtle, and if someone owns it, it's amazing.
I like Webster, but I wonder how much of that is because I had a red dictionary I liked as a kid, plus a nice teacher Mr. Web, plus sympathy for spiders. I do think it is, in theory, better than Spencer, but it'd need a reason to catch on. It sounds more laidback than Walter, at least, but even dorkier than Dexter.
Wystan reminds me of Hildred, Weiss, Tristan, and Kristen. I think the thing preventing it from seeming potentially unisex is its lack of appeal.
