babynamesI was watching Spongebob Squarepants (I swear this is relevant) and Mr. Krabs' Mom called him by his first name, Eugene. No offense to anyone with the name, but it struck me as a particularly nerdy name, especially when I remembered Eugene, the lovable nerd from Hey Arnold.
So, discussion. What names are, in your own opinion, nerdy names? For a boy, I'm thinking along the lines of Eugene and Sheldon (still watching Spongebob here). For a girl, it's a bit harder for me, but Eunice (She's The Man) seemed pretty nerdy to me.
I repeat again, no offense to anyone with these names.

Clarence
Dexter
Norman

Date: 2007-06-23 12:35 am (UTC)Eugene (I loved Hey Arnold!)
Dexter
Walter
Herbert
and for some reason guys with names like Robert or Michael who refuse to use the common nicknames Rob or Mike. (maybe it's just cause I had an ex who was a nerd and had a name like that...he refused to shorten it to the more commonly used nickname...I just thought that was a bit nerdy and uncool of him)

Napoleon. I truly, honestly loved the name until that movie ruined it.
Milton. From Office Space.
Melvin.
Walter. (Although, I think of Walter from Silent Hill 4. And...even though he's dead and evil...he's HAWT!!)
Daria. (I still remember Beavis and Butthead chanting "Diarrhea cha-cha-cha!" LOL)
Velma. (The ultimate girl nerd, IMO)

Date: 2007-06-23 12:55 am (UTC)I know it's a form of Edward (which doesn't sound nearly as nerdy) but Ned is the epitome of nerdy names.
Probably Dexter is high on the list, because of Dexter's Laboratory.
Hortense.
Alfred.
Maurice.

Dexter
Lydia (also a girl from high school)
Amy (again a girl from high school)
People really influence names, imo.
