[Opinions] Re: Fitzwilliam & Fitzgerald
I think I actually might dislike Fitz- surnames as first names more than Mc- ones. I find the sound unappealing and off putting, and do not think they sound at all natural as first names. I am okay with William, but I loathe Gerald and the 'fitz-' part makes it worse.
As a nickname, Fitz is okay, but not my favourite, and I may assume the nickname stemmed from the bearer's surname if a heard it.
