[Opinions] Hertzler for a boy.
What do you think of Hertzler for a boy? It just came to mind yesterday. :) And what possible short forms could you use for it? I myself can only think of Hes, Hez or Herry right now, prompting me to think that the full name is better to use in daily life than a short form.
Thanks for your input. :)

To be honest I don't like it at all. It looks like a surname that shouldn't be a first name.
A possible short form could be Hert.

It sounds like a last name, at best.
Sounds kind of like "hurts her."
I don't like it, sorry.

I don't like it at all. It looks like either 1) an existing surname that shouldn't be a first name because it looks terribly pretentious or 2) a surname someone made up to sound like an existing surname that shouldn't be a first name because it sounds terribly pretentious. Plus, the only thing I see when I look at it is "heckler".
A possible short form might be Rez.

not a good idea
It's very much a last name, and not of the Anglo-Saxon type that is so common to use as first names now. It's very German-ish, and I believe there are a lot of Amish/Mennonite people with Hertzler as a last name.
So it would be kind of like using the name Stolzfuss or Yoder as a first name.
Also, the only nn that comes to mind for me is Hertz. As in rental cars. Or hurts.

It don't like it. The only nickname I could think of is Hertz (hurts)
I don't like English surnames as first names and German names certainly aren't better. Besides what I read in other people's comments so far the English pronounciation sounds weird (I don't hear the word hurt in that name, sorry).
Sorry but Hertzler is NMS.
Hertzler is wierd and nerdy sounding, plus is contains the word "hertz". I wouldn't use it. However, for nns there is Hertz, Hert, Hertle, Lerry, Heler as well.
I dont like it at all. It's not very nice sounding, plus it reminds me of Hertz rent-a-car, or the word "hurts." I wouldnt use it.
I dont like the name at all! SOrry!
