Help[Opinions] Re: Anthony, Lachlan & Fletcher
in reply to a message by Natla'd
Anthony: I like it, but I don't think I'd use it, since it was very popular here for boys born in the 80s! I pronunce it ANN-thuh-nee, and I like the ideas of Tony, Anton, and Ant as nicknames.
Lachlan: I know a kid named Loklan--how ugly is that? Lachlan is far better, but it seems too up-and-coming for my tastes. I like Lockie, Lock, and Lanny / Lenny as nicknames, but it doesn't really need one.
Fletcher: Completely a surname for me. In fact, it's the last name of some friends of mine, so they're who I see when I hear the name. It works, of course, but the fact that I know a Fletcher family means I wouldn't use it myself. (Plus, it sounds very soap opera to me.) Fletch and Larry come to mind as nicknames. ;)
Fletcher Anthony would be my pick for a combo--mostly because Fletcher nn Larry appeals a lot to me! :P The combo of the plumber-guy nickname with the romance novel full name really makes me smile.

You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled: fear to bring children into the world. For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed, you ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins.

I'd like to leave the world as a better place.
