[Opinions] Re: Hunter
in reply to a message by Ludwig
I met one Hunter in Texas and he was probably the biggest influence on what I think of the name. He was supposed to be taking care of a house I was renting, for my asshole invisible landlord. He was a handyman living paycheck to paycheck ... a cool guy, not unattractive, but possibly had mental health or drug issues? lol. So, to me the name doesn't seem pretentious. It suited him somehow. He wore flannels.
Hunner... yep. BUUT, it's almost distinguishable from if the name were actually "Hunner," right? It doesn't exactly rhyme with "runner." There's a teeny tiny stop, it feels a wee bit different to say ... uh ... okay, maybe not. ugh
It still bugs me though, and so does every other damned surnamey name that has a stop instead of a T sound. Peyton, Trenton, Bentley, Quentin, Quinton. Somehow, Martin does not bug me ... because it's not surnamey to me, it doesn't have that slick vibe.
And don't get me started on Carder and Porder. =P
