[Opinions] Re: Beacon / Zenith
in reply to a message by hylo
Beacon seems nerdy to me. Reminds me mainly of cliche phrases containing the word, like beacon of hope, vaguely religiousy.
But, it's not significantly dorkier than Deacon or Walker or Canyon. IMHO. Feels to me like it'd go with brothers like those... conservatively creative type names, that are just about namey but not quite, and someone convinced themselves because it was different but didn't sound that different.
Zenith is more plainly eccentric, to me. Brothers like Phoenix, Ocean, Aries, Apollo.
I like it more than Beacon, but the meaning seems slightly gimmicky so I wouldn't favorite it. I think I'd get used to it as a name quickly IRL.
