[Opinions] Re: Joseph and David
in reply to a message by Siri
I think they're perfectly useable, though together would be a bit much. I find David really, really boring though.
Katarina would probably be Kat, Kate, Katie, Katarine, Kit, Kitty, Reen, and Rina to me, but I'm a bit more liberal on NN's than most people. She would "go by" Katarina. I really love Katarina lately.
ETA: I can totally take an Abraham seriously. Much more seriously than a Rudolph or a Julius even. I don't think it's out there or too-heavy at all. It's got that long A which has America's baby naming populace so enthralled right now. It's familiar and not difficult to pronounce. I don't see problems with it.
Edit again: And Abram really seems like a cop-out to me, to the point where I roll my eyes when I hear one's name being called.
