Help[Opinions] Re: Hawkeye
in reply to a message by elysa
You asked for opinions so I am going to give it - although it is harsh. Honestly, if I met someone named Hawkeye I would think their parents were desperate for attention or jumped on the "name my kid like a celebrity" bandwagon. Now, I'm sure that you're a perfectly nice person but I'm giving you my honest opinion. I think, as a nickname, it is cute but as a full name it is just too over the top.
Even the name "Hawk or Hawke" is okay but Hawkeye is just too much. I don't believe in conforming but honestly, it reminds me of my friend Andrew who jokes all the time about naming his daughter "Carpet". Its like picking a random word and using it as a given name.
I see several people describing this name as "badass". If you think the name is "badass" then I suspect you like names like: "Moon Unit, Jermajesty, Pilot Inspektor, and maybe even Carpet.
It is a bit much for real life but then again, there are plenty of other off-the-wall goofyass names to go around so your kid would be just one of them.
I just can't help thinking though, that it would be terribly ironic and tragic if the kid went blind at some point.
