[Opinions] Re: Adrian, Evan, Desmond, or Jonah?
in reply to a message by Equinox
Adrian > Evan >>> Jonah >> Desmond
Adrian is just obviously a good name and seems to resist becoming trendy or dated.
I feel like Evan is similar, only it's less classical/international, and I didn't hear it until the nineties.
They have a calm, sane vibe.
I know a Jonah who is 18. Because of him I like the name more than I would, but also I have a much geekier image of it than I would have had.
I dislike the sound of Desmond a lot. It just sounds glum and snivelly, to me. I don't mind nicknames Des or Desi, though. Losing that "zmuh" sound.
