Does anybody have an opinion on the name Homer outside of Homer Simpson?
I'll admit, I'm finding it hard to separate the two; I'm not familiar with the mythological Homer the same way I am with, say, Jason and the Argonauts, and Homer isn't exactly a common name in the UK. In fact, I've never seen the name in any context other than Homer Simpson (and the mythological Homer).
Does Homer sound dated?
Does Homer sound rough, boring, unintelligent or do you have an opinion outside of these (probably) stereotypical attributes?
I'm a fan of the soft sound, but that's about it. I don't actually like the name. Like Simon and Dexter, I find Homer to be a name I might like in an alternate universe. I also find it more interesting than boring due to its incredibly rare status, unlike Dave and Robert, but not quite so interesting that it would be elevated into the "kinda like-ish sorta maybe" category.
Thoughts?
