Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on…
in reply to a message by sprout
I agree with basically all of what New_Chloe said.
But adding...
While my impression of Levi is religious-Protestant, it's more lowkey to me; I mostly think of blue jeans.
I had a hard time (before encountering it IRL) getting over that Abel is famously/mythically the original murder victim and also that it's basically Able. I've warmed up to it though (as a name for ordinary people) after hearing stories of my coworker's stepson Abel, but I think those things would prevent me from using it still.
Jonah (also Jonas) kind of makes me think of WWJD bracelets and people singing Kumbaya.
The only name of those I'd consider using is Isaac. Maybe Enid.
