Help[Opinions] Re: Odin
in reply to a message by aussiechic04
I think the thing is some are just more obvious than others. Or maybe just they’re a lot more heavy and dare I say, perhaps pretentious or powerful.
But all of those names are lovely. Iris is more flowery to some people or maybe even reminiscent eyeballs, Aurora most likely makes people think of the Princess from Disney, and Maya is so mainstream and popular that’s mostly not even the first association. Raiden pretty much fits in with the Jayden’s, Cayden’s, etc.
Athena, and Freya, are very obviously mythological though. Both were very powerful goddesses and they are beautiful names. Seth also has a Biblical association.

Yeah, exposure leads to familiarity. I don't think Odin will be as exposed as Diana, but the underlying logic remains the same - one is the name of a god and the other is the name of a goddess.
Perception is key though, and if you want to get nitpicky maybe Odin is more ambitious/pretentious as a name as he "outranks" Diana technically speaking - he is the highest god in his mythology and she is "just" a moon goddess. Although, according to BtN her name literally means "divine, goddesslike". *shrugs*
Interesting :)
