Re: "Old man names" ... Is a resurrection in order?
in reply to a message by astronomicon
Calvin is my sister's favorite name... but maybe because we have the John Calvin association. He was a preacher who started the Calvinists, which happens to influence a lot of our theologies today.
I also think of Calvin and Hobbs, so it has always had an intellectual vibe to me.
Clarence will always make me think of angels.
My husband works with a young guy named Lester. I was shocked. I find it a dislikable name too, but the Lester we know is a decent guy. I still feel bad for him though.
Harvey - does anyone else think of "Casper, the friendly Ghost" on this one? Wasn't he the boyfriend of the girl who terrorized Cat, Casper's crush?
I fully agree that Earl is laughable. I just can't take it seriously. Homer too.
