[Opinions] Swift
I'm reading a novel with a male character named Swift. What do you think of it? A guy named Swift. I kinda like it. It's probably a bit pretentious but...

I actually love it.. It's definitely going on my GP list now.. Swift is so cool. I would never use it on a real child though!!

My first thought is Taylor... I imagine that might be a hard association to escape. I think I'd like it just fine if I read it in a book, but I'd raise my eyebrows if I heard it in real life.

she's my first thought, too, but I LOVE her! Still wouldn't use Swift as a fn, though...

I want to approve of it. It's only a little pretentious. Like Hawk.
And it is a little bit like Ace ... something people say sarcastically when someone does something clumsy. Not a great association. And it's just not that smooth to say, because of how the W and F together put the name way out on your lips.

As a name, I can only see it as a surname. As a first and middle, it just doesn't work

It's as dumb as a person being named Speedy or Flash. Also could very easily be used sarcastically for a person who isn't too swift.

...I think that was the name of a thief in The Song of the Lioness series, Swiftfingers nn Swift...I'd prefer Nimble. I met a guy called Nimble once, although it wasn't his real name.

I'd like it better if Jonathan Swift weren't my instant thought. The sound is fairly appealing to me, and I tend to like short names for boys.
