[Opinions] Re: Richard
in reply to a message by Lily8
I love the name Richard, I plan to use it as a mn of a future son after my Uncle. I don't think it is dated, it is a classic. It is a strong name with so much history and everyone loves a Rick. I don't think the Dick nn will cause any problems.Harvey - not a favourite, reminds me of a furniture store we have in Australia
Atticus - Gorgeous and who can go past the Atticus Finch association?
Asher - One of my old favourites. Very handsome
Homer - Don't do this to any child. I get the history, I get the amazing association of Homer and the Iliad etc...but any kid named this now will be dogged by 'Doh's for eternity. If you really love it, reserve it for a mnHarvey Atticus Homer Richard is too long IMO. I am a huge advocate of 2 mns but 3 is too long. This is coming from Elise Marie Anali Bolton by the way. I have lived with 3 mns and it is horrible when you have to fill out forms and things.

really ?I have two middle names as well and I love them! I always put them on anything and never have any problems at all. When it says "middle name" i just put both in. not a problem at all i can't even remember a single time i had any problems with them.

But I have three, not twoElise Marie Anali Bolton doesn't include my last name. Which is why I have no issue with 2 but there is NEVER room for a third
