Why not Matilda, Elizabeth, Chloe, Porsche, Jennifer, Mark, Leslie, Jack, Rob, Bob, Bert, Valerie or Kschidt?
Why not Schneider, Dee, Smith, White, Marlow, Thomas, Barker, le Carré, Shakespeare, Winchester or Pierce?
Why not Honoria Glossop or Bertram Wooster?
Why not Georgina Kirrin?
Why not Biffy or Bingo or Tuppy?
Why not Darrell Rivers?
Why not Victoria Spice?
Julian is a masculine name, yet has no masculine conotations. Julian is middle-class and soft, without being quite as silly as the related "Jolyon". Julian is the name of the boy I would have loved in my childhood confidanté.
Hathaway is both hard and soft. The 'th' sound is both vicious - think of a snake's hiss - and sweet - think of a child's lisp. The "wayy-ay-ay-ay" end lingers... Like a sour aftertaste and a stolen kiss.
Every ingredient is present to betray my affectation without forcing it upon you and advertising itself as an almost worryingly thought-out extension of myself.
