Mar. 16th, 2009 08:52 pmMy SO loves the name Ishmael. Loves. And it is so hard to pull names out of him that he really likes.
I do not like the name Ishmael. I really want to learn to like it, but it is something about the 'ish' sound that I really dislike. And there is nothing really you could shorten it to. Except maybe Ish. Which...yeah. And there are the obvious other connotations, which would just get old. Especially since he wants Ishmael to be the middle name that he just goes by. No, my dear, he is not going to get a kick out of telling people to "call him Ishmael" 750 gazillion times.
How do you feel about Ishmael?
