HelpRe: a few questions
in reply to a message by mirfak
1. Francis called Frank / Frankie
I love Francis and Frank (I prefer Frank on it's own as it was my grandad's name but it's good as a nn for Francis). I don't like Frankie as much as it reminds of Frankie Howerd and Frankie Boyle (both comedians) so it's rather a comical name to me.
2. Pick ONE of: Drew or Merrick.
Drew. (Merrick reminds me of the Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick).
3. Robin for a boy: do you think it is very masculine, or does it sound kind of "soft" or weak to you?
I wouldn't say very masculine (I tend to associate that with names such as Hunter/Cutter/Gunner and the -adens). But it's not a weak-sounding name either. It's hard to describe, I find it both masculine on a boy and feminine on a girl. I'd say it was 'sensitive-' and 'caring-' sounding for a boy.
4. Which is nerdier: Keith, or Marshall?
This is hard, neither of them strike me as particulary 'nerdy' but I think I'd said Marshall (Keith is more of a 'down at the pub with my mates' name, one of the lads).
5. How do YOU pronounce Leif?
LEEF but I've only ever seen it written down never spoken. I do know LAYF is listen on the entry but LEEF is the way I've said it in my head. I've not really paid enough attention to it to make LAYF come automatically.
6. Which of these names I've mentioned do you like most? Least?
I like Francis the most.
Marshall is the one I dislike.
