Richard has never been an old-man name to me (I think in the UK it's one of those ever-present but not commonly used names), mainly because it's my younger brother's name.
Sybil is my cat. I've always liked it but I like it more now I'm saying it daily. However, it will always now be tied to a certain little psycho so I couldn't use it on a child. The pet insurance man misspelt it as Sybit, which amused us. It soon became Sybby/Sybs so I'm not sure if that would bother you.
