Is Nelson terrible?

We’ve incidentally named our kids with the final consonant /n/ sound and are considering this name for a third. I love that it follows the pattern and it’s an honor name. My husband also likes it. That being said… is it awful? We’re no strangers to “old” names for our kids, so that’s not the issue. I’m just wondering about public perception. Is it classic, or “nerdy?”

I immediately thought of the Simpson’s character and his “Ha ha” laugh. Other kids are likely to make the same connection

Yes don’t do it OP
