[Opinions] Franklyn for a girl?
Just kidding! Please, don't answer that. The answer is simply NO.Now that I have your attention (I hope).. I have a survey for you, with 2 simple questions.
1. Please put your own name into one of these 4 categories.
You don't have to tell me what your name is, nor do you have to be "right" about the category. Just tell what category it seems to be, to you:- "timeless classic"
(it doesn't suggest anything about your age, and little about your birthplace)- "basically classic-styled, but definitely has been subject to trends and alterations"
(The name is a classic with a long usage history, but is either new to your language, or has had significant popularity ups & downs where you live. People around you could guess your age accurately to within ~30 to 50 years, if they knew your name and where you were born.)- "modern-styled"
(a recent new usage within the last ~30 years. Regardless of whether it has a "classic" root. For example, in most places the name Taylor(f) could go in this category, despite being a classic name in English, because the usage as a female personal name was very rare until recently. Put your name in this category if you feel it gives the impression of being modern-styled)- "unusual"
(it's rare and remarkable, or invented; considered offbeat by most people where you are; indicates nothing about your age but might tell something about your birthplace or parentage; or it is any name that you don't feel can be categorized as timeless, classic-subject-to-fashion, or modern)
2. Is your name in the category you'd most prefer to have a name from?
If not, which category would you prefer to have a name from?
(Please explain why, if you want to - this is what I really want to know. What are good & bad things about having a classic, fashionable, modern, or rare name?)
thanks!- chazda
