Help[Opinions] Re: Orion (+)
in reply to a message by beethoven
I really like the name Orion. I like the history / mythology associated with it. I love the fact that it is a constellation. I also like the sound of it. I like how uncommon it is, yet at the same time it's a name that most people have heard of.
I've only ever known one person with this name. He went to my school. He was in middle school when I was a senior in high school. He was a very sweet developmentally disabled kid. He was a year younger than my sister and was in her middle school class. He was also in my Swing Dance class. I'd often end up dancing with him since he was one of the shortest boys and I was one of the shortest girls, even though more than half of the class were middle schoolers. :P
I could probably talk my partner into using it. Though when it comes to greek heroes I prefer the name Perseus. I'd give a child named Orion a less usual mn. Probably not a Greek mn since I am not Greek.
Also I think it's cool when siblings get to help name their siblings. My partner got to choose his little sisters mn. He gave her the mn Serena since he loved Sailor Moon. He also named his cat Luna. Though if your children want to name their siblings really weird things you may choose to not let them help. For example I wanted to name my sister Dee Dee, which is a terrible name. And my partners little brother wanted their sister to be named Biscotti. Hehe.
