[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to name my son Albert. I named him Nathan and have always regretted it. I was talked out of Albert (my grandfather's name) by a night nurse who told me it was an old man's name. Which it is! but my (now) Nathan could have pulled it off and I wish I'd stuck with my guns.

Nate the great! (Al is cute too.)

Almost all names from all cultures are wonderful, especially for their many stories. I don't know why people agonize so much over them.

The only name I ever heard where it really gave me pause was Nimrod. It's an ethnic Hungarian name, perfectly fine there but I heard it in the US in college and I felt really bad for the guy. He was generally weird too, and the name didn't help. [/quote]

I knew a Nimrod in college too!

But he was something like Nimrod Varga III.  Second generation American but the family kept their cultural names, ( which normally I think is super cool, but Nimrod...).   but since he was the third with that last name, we all called him Tripp.

Only a few people knew his name was actually Nimrod[/quote]
