Help[Opinions] Re: Wade
in reply to a message by queenv
I can't get it out of my head that it would be the middle name of a murderer. You know how they are always called by all three names? I just hear Robert Wade LastName or something. Sorry, not a fan.

I live in South Carolina, home of Wade Hampton I, (1752-1835), soldier, politician, U.S. Congressman, and his son Wade Hampton II, (1791-1858) politican and soldier, and his grandson Wade Hampton III, (1818-1902), Confederate cavalry leader, Governor of South Carolina, and U.S. Senator. There is a long, prominent, busy street here named Wade Hampton Boulevard. It was probably named after Wade III, but it's possible it was named after any one of them or all three.
So the name makes me think of them, and although I am no fan of the erstwhile Confederacy, I am a fan of names that have what I consider to be nineteenth-century charm, so I think that's what makes me favor Wade.
