HelpRe: Scottish/English Names -boys 2
in reply to a message by Felie
My favorites from this list are William and Harry, but I would never use them because I find them too boring. I like the pronunciation of Odhran a lot, but I think it looks too awkward if you're not from Ireland.
I really don't like any of the rest:
Davy - Should just be a nickname for David.
Walter - Sounds meek and geeky and makes me think of Walter Mitty.
Angus - Ugly. Makes me think of steaks and beef cows.
Ned - The worst from this list. Apparently it's a nickname for Edmund or Edward, but I would never guess that from looking at it. I do love Edmund and Edward however!
Hugh - Surprisingly, I actually kind of like the sound, but it looks too short and awkward.
Roger - Cartoonish. All I can think of is Roger Rabbit.
Willie - The worst nickname for William IMO. Also slang for penis.
Fingal - Sounds like finger.
Clyde - Sounds effeminate to me and makes me think of Clydesdales.
Malcolm - I've never liked it. It just looks ugly to me.
Kyle - Ok enough, but overused.
