Help[Opinions] Re: Raleigh
in reply to a message by queenv
Sir Walter Raleigh. A name to evoke nobility, conquest, intrigue. A British Empire name.
A common surname and the capital of NC, so also familiar, and not so stuffy.
Rawly ... I think it has the right sort of "dash" in the sound, to be fashionable.
NMSAA. I'd just get used to it, if I knew a guy named Raleigh. It's not very interesting to me personally.
Btw, I just read that Sir Walter Raleigh had sons named Carew and Damerei (after ancestors' surnames).
