Help[Opinions] Re: Hunter
in reply to a message by mirfak
My impression of Hunter is at least as pretentious, well-fed, and doggy-eater as all of the other popular surname names down here, but that's subjective, I guess. I also hate the way it sounds, which is also subjective, T or not, and since it's as unappealing to me as all of the other surnamey names I find myself rolling my eyes at the choice of hunting as imagery for it.
My comment is supposed to be about the friggin T sound, which is impossible to deal with. Hunner is just how you would say Hunter in my dialect. Any other way is a falsehood. But: Hunner sounds awful. I can't bring myself to do it. It just sounds terrible! and incorrect to boot. So whenever I talk about people I know in my life named Hunter, I go out of my way to artificially pronounce the T, and I sound artificial and ridiculous. I hate being coerced into making that stupid choice! Just because someone chose to give their kid a dumb name and I have to interact with that dumb-named kid however many years later!
My 2c, worth not much more than that.
