[Opinions] Re: Homer
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
I think this name is actually really cute. It's so old and serious but it has that pop culture lighter side that warms it up. It's in the same category of names as Casper, Clifford, Barney and Archie for me. I'd use Homer. I think it would be especially cute on a pet.
I honestly don't know how much the Simpsons reference will matter to the newer generations. It's kind of already obsolete, isn't it? Not exactly forgotten, but, unimportant. I know people only 10 years younger than me who don't get my Simpsons references. I think it matters a bit to my generation, but a kid could be called Homer and not have to worry about issues with other kids, I bet. The teachers, on the other hand....
