Bertram
So my boyfriend and I started watching Why Women Kill season 2 the other day, I won't indulge in spoilers for anyone that was wanting to see it but the show has a character named Bertram in it and it's gotten me reflecting on it. To me it still feels a little bit too stiff and Old Man-ish but there does seem to be a slight edge of offbeat charisma to it in a similar fashion that Edgar does imo. Still unusable for the foreseeable future but it does have some personality. What's your takeaway?

It's cute and eccentric, I love it.
"slight edge of offbeat charisma" I can see that.
The kind of name that can shine with an attractive personality to go with.

Bertie Wooster
For me, it is very linked to the character Bertram "Bertie" Wooster of the "Jeeves and Wooster" books by P.G. Wodehouse set in the 1920s. It was later made into a mini series on PBS, starring Hugh Laurie. Bertie is a delightfully quirky character, so it does have a certain charm about it.

That’s what it makes me think of too.
I adore Bertram! It has a wonderful meaning, and it's delightful to say.
I love the meaning, I just hate the sound! It’s like a fat, grumpy cat or as you said, old (also grumpy) man.
I think along the same lines, it has me intrigued but it's hard to picture on a young person. However the nickname "Bert" does wonders, in my opinion, in making it more youthful and approachable.
