[Opinions] Re: Is Brock the most unpleasant boy name ever?
in reply to a message by namesarecool285
What a well thought out comment! "Isn't for everyone"-- Exactly. But as you say, "sounds very strong." Which I think is what people are railing against. It's a rock of a name. Bam-- it's right there: BROCK. You know what I mean? You definitely know what I mean.
Personally, I love to see the influx of diverse "essences" within male names, which have been pretty unyielding over time, but I want that diverse flavor profile to include strong, stone/earth-essence names too, like Brock.
When I talk about name essences, I'm not talking about a defined category (heritage, lingual characteristics, meanings... although these factor in on a psychological level). I just mean how that name feels, elementally. Like Llewellyn, which sounds like water. Blaise, obviously fire. Brock and Bruce are earth/stone.
