I hadn't thought of this in a while, but it just popped into my head now. I used to work at one of those restaurants where the customer gives their name to be called out when their order is ready. I was ringing up some guy - curly brown brillow pad hair, pimples, pale, gangly. I asked for his name. "Joe," he says. And then he hands me his credit card.

Its owner's name was Apollo. I looked up at this guy, said, "I don't meet many Apollos" (which I shouldn't have said at all, looking back) and he blushed about ten shades or red.

Anyway - this is what I think of whenever I think that Aphrodite actually is a really pretty name or something. I bet his parents were hoping the name would shape him in some way. Hmm.
