Help[Opinions] Re: Timothy
in reply to a message by I Love Jesus
I adore this name, and it would have been the name of my son if my husband hadn't insisted on having a say. ;) I even had high hopes to name the cat Timothy, but once again fate didn't cooperate. She became Hermione.
I think Timothy is smooth and manly with a core of gentleness, and Tim is one of those great all-purpose nicknames like Mike, Cal, or Nate. It seems so versatile--need someone to hit a homer? rescue a kitten? perform surgery? write a screenplay? Tim/Timothy's your man.
DH, on the other hand, says Timothy is a "dirty old man" name, a pervy geezer with tufts of ear hair who smells like BenGay and likes to poke at girls with his cane just to hear them squeal. So, I guess this is one of those names where your mileage may vary.
