Help[Opinions] Re: Homer
in reply to a message by PrincessZ
It's blind like Cecil / Cecilia and epic like Ulysses or Journey. It's a short H name that has an *er sound ending like Hunter, Harper, Hester, Hector.
Realistically, sounds most like someone born in the late 1800s to me (dated like a hand-colored photograph); my great grandmother might have had an uncle Homer.
Contemporaries: Galen, Eldred, Elmer, Casper, Garfield, Grover, Enoch, Henry, Howard, Cecil, Waldo...
Napoleon, Garfield, Jemima, Kermit, and Homer could have been a real life sibset with parents Ulysses and Beulah, haha.
Or less comically: Galen, Silas, Jesse, Violet, and Homer could have been, with parents Florence and Edward.
Some possible word associations: 'home, homey, homely, homeboy, homo' plus Homeric is an adj.
I like it more when I see it next to Elmer / Omer / Omar (all of which I'd rather use), the same way I started liking Casper more when I thought of it as part of a group (Cassius, Cassian, Kaspar, Jasper). For a long time, Casper was just 'the friendly ghost' to me, but now I like it somewhat. I think Homer is revivable, but I wouldn't want to be one of the first to use it, because the Simpsons connection does bug me.
