Help[Opinions] Re: Oedipus
in reply to a message by Bex
Great name for a pet. For a kid? Honestly, it's like naming a boy Incest-in-the-Family. Oedipus the King is recognizable to scholars, Sophocles enthusiasts, psychologists, anyone who knows anything about Freud, and anyone who pays attention to their culture.
You can get away with Antigone, Ismene, or even Jocasta (though I'd rather go with Lucasta, which is just as pretty and didn't sleep with her son), but Oedipus is a no-go.

I need the smell of summer--
I need its noises in my ears.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
