Help[Opinions] Re: Harlan and Roy
in reply to a message by Snapdragon
Hi!
Both Roy and Harlan have a Medieval vibe in my opinion.
Roy is so short but full of history and links that are Norman and Celtic. I love its regal meaning but also its rough form Ruadh that means "red".
Harlan: as I live in Italy the only Harlan I came across is a fictional character... Sir Harlan of Pennytree, hedge knight created by George R.R. Martin in the 'Ice & Fire' Universe.
I actually like them and I'd enjoy coming across one of them in the Anglosphere.

It's amazing to see how differently names are seen
I didn't know a lot of Harlans until I moved to Midwest USA. I've met a handful now, all 80+.
Roy is also fairly common in the US, 50+. It, too, seems to be more common in the Midwest.
The idea that they are Medieval would never occur to me!
