Help[Opinions] Re: Marcellus?
in reply to a message by Array
I like Marcellus fine. I see it as an ancient Roman name. Of the mns you listed, I like Marcellus Michael the best.
I adore the names Bertrand and Bertram. I love the nn Bertie, Bert is OK. I like each one equally. Bertram sounds so British, Bertrand vacillates in my mind between being French (gorgeous pronunciation) and British. Bertrand Russell pops to mind.
Ogden makes me think Utah, not Nash. It has a harsh, abrupt sound to it that I don't care for. I love Jerome and wish it were more popular. (Similarly, I love Gerald, Gerard and Germain.) Harold is quirky and fun, and the nn Hal has retro appeal. Joash I haven't heard of before. It's a little out there, for me. Is is related to Joachim? Zacchaeus brings me right back to Sunday school and a song they used to play ("But the people, they were tall, and Zacchaeus, he was small . . .") I can't separate the name from that time period. It's a pity, because it is a fun, underappreciated name.
