honest first impressions - I won't take offence #2 (different name)

[kalo12]

PASCAL

I dislike the sound of the name, simple as that.

Pretty common in 60 year old Irish men.

I like it. Even considered it for one of mine.

Oakmaiden - yes, like Fortran!

Mollydoggerson gosh, yes, there was a Pascal used to work in my Granny's bakery, I'd say he'd be just about 60 now :o (I wonder if you're thinking oif the same man)

poncey - sorry

My daughter's favourite movie is Tangled - so for me it is the name of the pet chameleon

Do you have a slightly poncy last name too? Could you pretend convincingly that you are part French? Do you mind that it's usually a girl's name?

I like Pascal (seeker the female version is Pascale) and don't think you need a particular surname (perhaps not one starting with P if you don't like alliterations), but I much prefer Bruno.

I know it is, but who wants to go through life saying "My name's Pascal without an e"

I speak as someone who has gone through life saying "My name's Cathleen with a C"

Pascal is also the name of a programming language - I prefer Bruno too

Awful

it sounds quite nice i think, but reminds me of rascal

pretty common in 60 year old irish men? that's very interesting. I think that might have put me off.
