Don't ask me why, I don't know
Essentially, I have a prejudice for those named Tommy. I don't know why. I think it has something
to do with the way that people say the name. Tommy. Obviously there are going to be a plentitude of different ways to say any name, but Tommy seems to be very unilateral. Tommy; said with a Italian air. The only other name that I can think of that carries that same Italian inflection is Vito and I like the name Vito. It's a funny name, but not Tommy. Tommy. Sounds like the name you yell out when someone drops a full glass of fruit punch onto a white, short carpet. TOMMY! See, then someone could say, "well, what about Bobby or Billy or Jimmy?" I say, "What about Matty?" It just doesn't carry the same instant connection that Tommy does. I see Tommy as a negative name. Bobby, Billy and Jimmy are all child-like names to me, but Tommy's just the worst.

I don't mind if others are named Davey. Doesn't work for me though.
