Help[Opinions] Re: Wilbur
in reply to a message by puqk
Well I guess I'm lame, but whatever. Yes, it SCREAMS "pig" to me. And even worse, Abner always screams pig to me also, because it was the name of Arnold's pet pig in "Hey Arnold," so the two together are piggy overload.
I mean, I don't see why making such an association is "lame." It's no different that any other movie/character related connection and I personally wouldn't even view it as BAD per say. I mean, I love plenty of "cow" names like Bessie and Annabelle. They are just animals, and as you said, endearing ones at that. I like the name Templeton a million times better than Wilbur and he's the skeevy rat.
I think it's just an ugly name. That's all. Something about the combination of the "b" and "er" sounds really turn me off. Pity because I do love Will and have been playing around with different ways to achieve it as a nn. I settled on liking the idea of Wilmer or Wilby, better than Wilbur
