I met my first Isabelle today. It's never been a name that I cared about either way, but when I heard it on an actual person, I thought, "wow, it's entirely way too princess-y, over-the-top, and only works in theory."

So, whether that's your opinion or not, I was wondering: do any of you have names that you liked until you heard it on an actual person, and then just thought, "wow, that does not work"?

My boyfriend is John Nicholas, but he's always gone by Nick. He said the same thing of professors- he just lets them call him John because he's in a lot of larger classes where it's difficult to explain that he goes by Nick, so a lot of his schoolmates know him as John.

I think it's kind of weird- he's so clearly a Nick and not a John to me.
