I don't care for these at all so why should I put them on a birth certificate? What's sensible is very subjective. I find
Lionel extremely silly, for example, and I think lots of men would rather be named Bear or Lion than the soft sounding
Lionel. If you'd rather name someone
Lionel or
Bernard or see these names on someone that's fine, of course. Just saying that
Bernard and
Lionel will certainly not please EVERYONE else and personally I'd just rather meet a Lion.
