Re: How do you feel about these Mythology/Ancient names?
Hmm. That's interesting information on Sappho. I saw that she was from Lesbos, but I didn't realize that people would connect it that strongly. Definitely something to consider! This doesn't bug me, but I can see the potential for teasing would be very great. It's too bad, such a cute name...

Well, then again, I'm not sure if MOST people WOULD connect it that strongly! I'm particularly interested in Sappho and have taken it upon myself to read her poetry, but it's unlikely that most people would have read it. I really don't know whether or not most people would connect her with lesbianism...it depends on education levels, probably.~ Caitlín
