[Opinions] Sibset
Sibset from work, brothers named Tintin and Grimm. I think they were about ten and seven.
I quite like Tintin and I've come across it before but I've only ever seen Grim (this spelling) once before and it was also on a young boy. Grim is a GP of mine. It has a nice Norse feel to it though I guess it's possible this boy was named after the Brothers Grimm, considering the spelling.
Thoughts?

Tintin sounds A) like baby talk B) like a red-headed cartoon boy and C) like a German shepherd (Rin Tin Tin, anyone?). I'd say the overall score in that one is quite low, personally, though I do like Tenzin. Grim is, I must admit, a GP nickname, but I much prefer Grimsby nn "Grim" to just Grim on its own, which sounds oh so saaaaad

I like Grimm (love it) but Tintin is a bit silly to me. The set is pretty cool though - very pop culture neat.

I like Tintin, but not Grim/Grimm.
I find Grim/Grimm to be mean sounding, and my surname also ends in -grim so it would be a bit awkward ;-)
