Help[Opinions] Herbert?
Herbert: old man geek or old man chic?
He could go by Herb or Bert/Bertie as well.
“What are you going to call it?”
“I’m going to call him Tarzan.”
*disgusted and puzzled* “Okay, well...he’s your kid.”

Old man chic to me. Herb is cute, and Bertie is an adorable nickname. I think Herbert is absolutely ready for a revival. I dig it.

I like this name too. I love Bertie, and now I wish I'd read your reply before I wrote my own - Herbie is absolutely adorable!

Aww, Herbie is adorable.

Old man hideous. Throw it away forever.

I’d have to side with geek. Can’t say I’m fond of it, but I have no strong negative associations; it’s a sound thing. I am fond of Bert, though, due to the lovely fictional bearer of “Poppins” fame.

Old man geek. Also kind of sounds like a frog saying it.
(My main association is Frank Herbert which is good, but not enough to save Herbert. Or Frank for that matter.)
I wish Bert sounded better because it's a cool meaning but it sounds like, well, a burp.

I think the double “er” sound puts it firmly in the geek category. It sounds like something the Swedish Chef would say.
