[Opinions] Re: Bartolomé
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
I much prefer Bartolome!
Bartholomew is fun, but only for a character and never in real life.
Bartolome is cool even in real life.
And I like that you could call him Tolly if you wished. Bart is not attractive, but Tolly is pretty awesome.
Bartolomeo is fun, but I think it edges back into fictional person territory.
I think an English speaking kid could pull it off the same way they'd have to pull off Bartholomew- a mouth full, but people would get used to it and it would be fine. Being as uncommon as it is, I don't think it would be a problem. It would just be like every other uncommon name that they learned and adjusted to quickly.
