Help[Opinions] Gentry
WDYTO of Gentry as a mn (male)? What other "Gen" (or gin, jen, jin, gyn, etc.) do you like for boys?
ETA: Wait also do you think of Hyacinth, Chrysanthos, Hopcyn, & Sindri (all male)
and Isabeth (female)?

It reminds me of the country duo Montgomery Gentry.
I also used to work with a girl with the same so I picture it on a girl, not a boy.
I like Hyacinth for a girl.
Sindri is a GP and Isabeth is nmsaa.

Gentian!
I like Gentian. :)
I don't think I like Gentry. It reminds me of greedy oppressive landlords and hereditary nobility and gentrification, all of which aren't fully positive associations for me.

Classy.
*giggle giggle giggle giggle*
Sorry couldn't help it
There's actually a girl here at school whose first name is Gentry.
With word names, I think you have to be careful that you are really in love with the concept you are using. I'm not in love with the concept of Gentry. With the girl here I am pretty sure it's her mother's maiden name or something.
It would make a handsome middle name though. But also a very classist one.
I read a book recently called Bel Canto where one of the main character's name was Gen. He was Japanese. Gen on its own began to strike me as so gentle and intelligent sounding that I kind of fell in love with it.

Hyacinth reminds me of a Brittish comedy on PBS called 'Keeping up Appearances'. That's the name of the Dreaded Bucket woman, or main character who seems to think she's living in a world that's like a Jane Austin novel. Everyone who isn't related to her hates her. It's definately a fn, and not one I'd necessarily use.
