Help[Opinions] Re: "snooty" nicknames
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
I know what you mean about Jonty. It does seem rather snooty. But I find Jem very down to earth and friendly. It's almost country in its lack of pretentiousness.
Kit as a nn for Christopher is medieval / Elizabethan to me. I suppose some could find that snooty, but I don't. Betty is snooty? In what universe is Betty Boop a snob? I'm sorry but this one truly escapes me. I must be missing something / cultural reference.
I tend to like a lot of names that most people would find snooty. To me they enhabit the delightfully off-beat, comic world of P.G. Wodehouse. (Think: Jeeves and Wooster.) The more outragious the funnier I find them. So Im' probably not the best person to ask. That said, Jonty seems snooty even to me.
