[Opinions] Wyndham, Tully, & Warren
What do you think of Wyndham as a first name (it's the name of a golfer)? It reminds me of hotels and Buffy.What do you think of Tully and Warren, separately and as a sibset? (I know of brothers called these; they are both under age 10 currently).

Wyndham Hotel’s are everywhere, and I’ve stayed at them many times, so that’s my first and only association. Besides that, I just don’t like it.Tully is better off as a last name, and Warren’s okay.

Two literary and artistic figures in the early 20th century were named, respectively, Percy Wyndham Lewis and Dominic Wyndham Lewis. They were very different, and not related. Wyndham could be a minor character in a 1920s-1930s detective novel; someone who'd been at school with Albert Campion or in the Army with Lord Peter Wimsey.Warren is acceptable; I'd rather not use Tully, though maybe Tullius is equally awkward.

Overall, all three of them looks preppy to me (don't ask me why). I think that Tully and Warren look good as sibset names.But separately, I think that...
🔲 Wyndham looks complicated for me, because all of its first five letters consisted of only consonant letters.
🔲 Tully sounds cute and rough at the same time. It reminds me of the name Dolly (which I like), but its first syllable (TULL) just sounds unpleasant to me.
🔲 Warren just reminds me of Warren Buffett.

I don't care for Wyndham, especially its appearance. (I just see the words wind and ham. I mean just replace the y and that's what you got)
I like Warren, although I know it isn't wildly loved. Many people seem to dislike it for a number of obvious reasons, including it's datedness. However, I've always genuinely enjoyed the sound of it. I also like Tully. I actually gave this name to one of my characters and it delights me to see it mentioned, given how rare and uncommon it is. 😁 It's different but still sensible, and also adorable.
