Help[Opinions] Sybil and Richard.
Recently I've begun to really dig both of these names. I'm not sure whether or not I'd use them but I really, really like them.
Sybil just brings to mind a highly intelligent, well-read woman. I know that it still has the book/movie connotation but I feel that it's beginning to fade. It's unusual without being overly so.
Richard brings to mind a gentleman that attended my church when I was a kid. He was older and one of those very well-connected people that stay in the background. (I grew up in DC, so I'm talking connected in politics/government, not the Mafia). He was awesome - he helped create the zipcode system, traveled around the word, was always jovial, always a nice word to say to someone. Now we have a young gentleman at work who has the name, though he goes by Ricky. Everyone teases him about having an old man's name but hearing the name has made me really, really like it. I don't like any of the nicknames, though - not Rich, Richie, Rick, Ricky or Dick (which is what the gentleman went by.)
