Help[Opinions] Re: Hawkeye Matthias sounds fantastic
in reply to a message by Lillian
my assumption that neither Hawkeye Cooper nor Hawkeye Fenimore is on your list *LOL*
You're quite right on that count--I'm afraid that the Leatherstocking Tales haven't inspired me as much as they did Hawkeye Pierce's dad. ;) But Mr. Pierce himself...what an absolutely brilliant character. He just wins, honestly.
Hawkeye Matthias does sound great to me--and it even almost works as a possible-use name, because Matthias is "family" the same way Solveig is. While it hasn't been used in my family tree, as far as I know, it's one that could very well have been chosen by my ancestors. And besides that, I would've been a Matthew if I was a dude, so it's kind of like naming a kid after me. ;)
Hawkeye Dashing~ I don't say "too wordy" much, but I suppose I'm just not into verby words as much (with the exception of Raining). I know Dashing here is meant to be a virtue, but I can only picture Alan Alda running around in the rain, lol.
Hawkeye Dominic~ I like the repeated "aw," but Dominic is a bit too popular for my tastes.
Hawkeye Redmond~ And the Redhawk thing is awesome...or would be, if I didn't think of Tatum O'Neal's half-brother. (This is the problem of being frighteningly well-informed on pop culture; it restricts name usage, hehe.) Much as I love Tatum--good Lord, she's a cool woman--Redmond didn't get the best portrayal in her autobiography. :/
Hawkeye Ridge~ Ridge isn't exactly the sound I'm looking for, I don't think. It's...a tad on the soap opera side, is the problem. And I'm much more for the nighttime dramedy than for the daytime soaps. ;)
Hawkeye Scirocco~ Ooooh. It's blowing like a breeze, I tell you. ;) I like this. It wouldn't pass the real-life use test (namely, is there a family name of some sort in there?), but I like it. And a family name could always be snuck onto the end.
Hawkeye Scott~ Aggh--went to school with a gross Scott. Otherwise, this would be very sharp, I agree.
Hawkeye Scout~ It's dramatic, I'll say that much. :D I'll have to think about it a bit.
Hawkeye Tiberius~ I can only picture James Tiberius "JT" Yorke (how's that for a name?) of Degrassi: The Next Generation when I hear Tiberius, which is completely uncool, I'm afraid. :/ Memories of his penis enhancer will live on in my mind for quite a while, which means that Tiberius is out. A pity, because it's neat.
Apparently, I'm difficult tonight. Any other ideas? ;D

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
