[Opinions] Re: Homer
in reply to a message by Lily8
1. Do you think of Homer Simpson ?
-Yes, I think of Homer Simpson
2. Is Homer Simpson the only "person" you can think of ? I mean does he pop into your head first or can you also think of someone/something else ?
-The first thing I think of is the mythology writer of The Iliad and The Odyssey, who I just learned many historians think was probably a woman which makes me super duper happy :)
3. What would you except someone named Homer to be/look like ?
-I would expect them to have very rounded, big facial features for some reason. Also not very smart. This may be Homer Simpson having an influence here.
4. Do you know anyone named Homer ? Do you know why they were named Homer and what their middle names are ? Do they get teased ?
-I don't know any.
5. Do you think a child named Homer will get teased ? Is the name trashy because of the character ? Does it sound stupid/dumb/trashy to you ?
-They might get teased, yes, simply because Homer Simpson is pretty much the only person in pop culture that has the name. I think it sounds sort of dumb, but I don't know whether or not that's because of the character.
6. Do you think it could get popular ? (two celebrities used it even though that was 8 years ago or so, one was Richard Gere).
-I don't think it will get popular at all but I think it could get to the point where it's not so unheard of in real life.
7. Do you like the nn Homie ?
-Ick, no, I think of Marge Simpson calling Homer Simpson that. He's the only person I've ever heard "Homie" on.
8. What do you think of Homer Atticus ? Homer Richard ? Homer Atticus Richard Asher (too long ?) ?
Homer Atticus Richard Asher is way too long.
I think Homer Atticus is pretty cool, and very literary.
-Yes, I think of Homer Simpson
