Help[Opinions] Re: Sylvain
in reply to a message by Tassiegirl
Weird how different people's associations can be. Everyone has a unique perspective. I'd even wonder if Lucien's name is meant to be slightly ironic. I can't remember where you live, though. I guess if there's a lot of French heritage around, that changes the game.
Alphonse-Luc sounds stuffy and stuckup to me, but not fey and glammy. haha
Hermongilde sounds contrived and dramatic, but doesn't have that "vampire character" vibe that I get from Lucien / Adrien / Damien / Sebastien / Julien / Fabien etc. Hermongilde, to me, takes the heroic-literary vibe I get from names such as Byron, Ulysses, Gideon, & Montgomery a bit too far. If I were a guy, I'd rather be Hermongilde than Lucien because I could go by Gil.

Not ironic,it's a common name here.(I'm in a French-speaking part of Canada.)
Our former Lt. Governor is, in fact, a poet and illustrator, careers he's returned to, now that his stint as Lt.G. is over. (Not that I know him, you understand, but I live in a sparcely populated province and he's quite well known, locally.)
So perhaps his parents had an intuition.
Don't know if he is nick-named, it's not so prevalent in French.
