Help[Opinions] Re: Trexten
in reply to a message by Justina
That's not my style.
But if someone *has* to invent a name that looks and sounds "kinda" like a surname and "kinda" like a first name, but not really like either, and unfamiliar ... like Paxton, Dexter, Tristan but not ...
I'm not sure they could do a lot better than something like Trexten.
It actually does seem pretty unique and memorable - while avoiding seeming novel or interesting or difficult or ridiculous or eccentric. Except that it's invented, and there's that flimsiness. But the T. rex in it, I dunno, that's a little bit funny and cute. IF you're going to name someone this way, might as well not take it all too seriously.
I can picture my kid dating a kid named Trexten, and myself not batting an eye when he was introduced. It'd be such a relief that it's not Trixtin or Traxton, honestly.
Oh and it reminds me a little of Dresden which is a vgp for me.
