Asked “Which font would you name a child after,” the top choices were Arial (24 per cent), Geneva (18%), and Zapf Dingbats (12%). More disturbing was the choice of Linotype Univers Condensed Semibold Italic (9%).No TagsOther readers opted for Helvetica (8%), Bembo and Cooper Black (both 7%). Fluted Serif and Hoefler Text Ornamnets were the least popular, receiving just 2 per cent of the vote.
What, no PMingLiU?
Sassy J,
I think people had to choose from a pre-defined font list. Oddly enough, PMingLiU was not an option. Of the choices provided, I like Bembo for a boy (wouldn’t do for a female–sounds too much like Bimbo) and Fluted Serif for a girl.
it must have been
because i would definitely choose Gigi for a girl, or wingdings, or Georgia
and for a boy Haettenschweiler without a doubt.
I like bookman, both as a name and a font.
