What kind of adult do you picture - boys name

[NotMyFirstUsername1]

I’m interested in hearing how you picture the following names as adults (if that makes sense), for example the name Charles I would picture quite a well to do business man.

Sonny
Remy
Jonah
Thomas
Theodore
Milo
Miles
Joey
Ralphie

The 'ie' or 'y' just makes it sound so infantile

This is how I imagine Ralphie

Sonny - now goes by a different name
Remy - got bored of all the 'Are you French?' questions years ago
Jonah - calls himself Joe these days
Thomas - Tom's happy with his name
Theodore - Theo Surname wonders why his parents gave him such an overused name
Milo - sick of milometer jokes
Miles - quite dull but respectable
Joey - glad he wasn't called Bing
Ralphie - has a tag these days

Sonny - musician (alternative music), filmmaker, artist, publican, artisan breadmaker
Remy - jazz musician, filmmaker, journalist
Jonah - rugby player, works in finance
Thomas - literally anything
Theodore - librarian, historian. But there are so many Theos and I only know one adult, so this image will change
Milo - ballet dancer, computer specialist
Miles - as above, possibly also academic
Joey - pizza maker, footballer, restaurant owner
Ralphie - footballer, actor, groundsman

Sonny - a handsome and charming hippy type runs a dangerous cult from a commune
Remy - a conman who pretends he’s a French multi Michelin starred chef to bed both men and women
Jonah - professional parkour /free runner, mum still does his laundry despite having him being married with 3 kids.
Thomas - irrationally hates trains
Theodore - goes by Theo is a basement techno dj & works for Deliveroo to fund his vinyl habit
Milo - dresses up as a tweenie for kids parties at weekends. Is a failing financial analyst thro the week
Miles - rapist who gets away with it cos daddy has money
Joey - hasn’t outgrown being the bully he was at school. Still lives with his granny whom he bullied
Ralphie - police chief like his dad

They sound like creative, day dreaming, Peter Pan types who who flit from job to job with great big plans of changing the world but never even manage to hold down a relationship, the eat plan foot only but too lazy for exercise.

Remy & Jonah dress better, the rest look dishevelled and unironed.

All are nice but lack focus and a solid career.

Sonny - has an XL bully, thinks Nigel Farage is a good bloke.

Remy - gets pissed off explaining to everyone that it is actually a unisex name.

Jonah - wears red trousers and rugby tops, talks very loudly

Thomas - as normal a bloke as normal goes.

Theodore - squeaky voice, hangs round with Alvin and Simon

Milo - was homeschooled with siblings Persephone and Juno. Knows lots about organic quinoa

Miles - lives in suburbia with quietly middle class parents.

Joey - how you doing?

Ralphie - still let's his Mum choose his clothes despite being in his mid-thirties

Names with a y sound on the end are cute on kids but not so much on adults unless as a familiar name (ok Jamie Oliver is an exception). Sticking to a formal name which you create a cute nickname from gives options.

Sonny: sensitive yet sporty. Is still trying to find his place in the world.
Remy: Tired of saying ‘no, my surname isn’t Martin’.
Jonah: overstayed his visa after a gap year in Australia. Hoping to get a partner visa with new girlfriend Shana.
Thomas: newly-qualified solicitor.

Theodore: recently qualified as a paediatric nurse in London. Married to a high-flying diplomat.
Milo: public school drop-out. Went to the University of Life.
Miles: works in comms. For Tory MP
Joey: writes jingles for TV adverts.
Ralphie: budding artist. His mum is his biggest fan.

Sonny - your inept but likeable work colleague
Remy - gamer-geek type earning £££ in a tech job
Jonah - your neighbour who enjoys hiking
Thomas - all round nice guy, sometimes overlooked for lack of dynamism
Theodore - mansplainer who fancies himself as a creative type
Milo - harassed single dad, clothes always covered in play dough or paint
Miles - real ale type with standard big beard and big belly
Joey - über-keen estate agent
Ralphie - popular type but slightly irritating. Enjoys clubbing.

Sonny- makes me think of Cher so long haired hippy
Remy- creative but would personally avoid because I’m scared of rodents (Ratatouille)
Jonah - makes me think rugby player (Jonah Lomu)
Thomas - the 18 year old one I know went to grammar and is popular
Theodore - gentler and more bookish than Theo who is more likely to be sporty.
Milo - posh
Miles - Made in Chelsea type. Rides horses and goes to the gym
Joey - makes me think Tribbiani. Joe or Joseph is much better imo
Ralphie - makes me think of Ralph from the Simpsons. The -ie makes him sound like he’ll be living in mum’s basement forever. Rafe/Ralph is way better.

Sonny - prolific shoplifter, calls it ‘grafting’
Remy - bass player
Jonah - wears a beanie, cardigan and glasses. Goes to coffee shops to read Kafka and Jean Paul Satre
Thomas - he’s got loads of mates who all call him Tom. Thomas is what his mum calls him
Theodore - goes by Theo, drinks cider and doesn’t take life too seriously
Milo - still living at home in his 30s
Miles - posh, and knows it. Got a job in the city through his connections
Joey - goes everywhere with his cockapoo. Man’s best friend
Ralphie - primary school teacher but a bit of a ladies man on the side. The playground mums all fancy him.

Thomas - irrationally hates trains

Sonny - pro footballer, especially with a double barrelled surname
Remy - drug dealer
Jonah - rugby player
Thomas - could be anyone
Theodore - called Theo, works in IT
Milo - nerdy
Miles - overweight
Joey - made in chelsea wannabe
Ralphie - still living at home age 45

Sorry 😔

Sonny - poor quality riding school pony
Remy - no gcses
Jonah - well travelled, lots to talk about, works in a pub
Thomas - not british if they have not shortened this name
Theodore - Any man to not have adopted the shortened name is a cat
Milo - public school, holidays in cornwall and alpes
Miles - tall,well educated, sexy and successful
Joey - gerbil
Ralphie - 5 years old and very irritating

I think my favourite comment so far has to be that Thomas irrationally hates trains 🤣🤣

Sonny - American who doesn't have a proper job
Remy - Italian hairdresser (a rather good one)
Jonah - pale, overweight wearer of sandals with socks
Thomas - nice, quiet and very, very normal
Theodore - rather glamorous and successful. Probably an art dealer
Milo - ageing House DJ
Miles - floppy-haired rich twit
Joey - impossible to imagine an adult man with this name
Ralphie - really, really impossible to imagine an adult man with this name

Sonny - likes to surf and do nothing else.
Remy - confused.
Jonah - honest, reliable, everyone's mate
Thomas - plays rugby, high achiever
Theodore - shortens to Theo and becomes a heart throb.
Milo - not bright
Miles - very bright
Joey - destined to be your mate and also a serial flirt
Ralphie - forever a toddler

Sonny - drugs and/or prison
Remy - see Sonny
Jonah - plays rugby to a decent standard
Thomas - partner at law firm
Theodore - works for a charity
Milo - just about scrapes NMW
Miles - Successful due to parental contacts
Joey - works on a building site
Ralphie - never grows up

Remy an alcoholic
Jonah sexy and successful
Thomas in prison
