Help[Opinions] Re: Lyons
in reply to a message by Higuma Kanora
Like the word 'lions'.
It's a common surname. I'd just use Leo or Leon, it's much more believable.
I could believe it as a MN if it was a family surname, say his mother's maiden name.

There's plenty of surnames being used as first names, what's so hard to believe about that?

I just find that when an author uses a name that is uncommon for the area or time period it bothers me. It's just too try hard. I'd be much less distracted if it was a character named Lee or Leon. Or Tyler.
If I met a kid in real life called Lyons I'd eye roll, but yes I would accept it as part of the surname trend. I might even wonder if it was inspired by the show 'Empire'.
