[Opinions] Rodney
How would you describe the name Rodney? I can see many interpretations of the name and I'm curious how everyone else feels. Thanks!

I see it as dim-witted and bumbling, but kindly. So pretty Dangerfield-esque, but not perverted. It also has a bit of a pretentious air to it - you just know a kid named Rodney is mommy's favourite darling.
For some reason all those things makes me really like it.

It makes me think of the character in Only Fools and Horses. It feels dated and frumpy.
I think of the movie the Birdcage when Nathan Lane says "I can't tell you how many maids we've been through. Bruno, Rodney..."
So, it can be said that the impression I get is that of Nathan Lane's houseboy.

Highly macho first syllable, really feeble ending. Not a favourite, perhaps for that reason.
Yes, I like your explanation. It make alot of sense. Thanks.
