Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Tennyson
in reply to a message by InVain34
I don't think it's bad as lnfns go, although most of that category is pretentious by default, and Tennyson in particular can seem so because it's name dropping a famous writer. It's also a celebrity baby name (Russell Crowe used it for his kid), so maybe that gives it a faddish vibe. And it does remind me of tennie shoes if I dwell on it, but I'm indifferent about that.
Anyway, I liked it for a short while as a teenager. Probably because I've always liked Tennessee / Tenny as a name (and I have never thought of tennis when hearing Tennessee)...plus recently I've been contemplating the merits of Denzel "Denny" because I like Denny and *el names but not really Denis, so that's vaguely in the same category. Stylewise it also reminds me of Penny, Edison, Emerson, Harrison which seem normal enough.
