In two minds.

---

On one hand it's a legit girl's name but with the English word hero in mind it feels ever so slightly OTT or ambitious even. Still, I would be overjoyed to meet a female Hero. I think it needs grounding with something more mundane. I don't think all unusual names need "grounding" but Hero is a big exception.

I could also see this one on a boy. Isn't it also legitimately a male too? Again, a bit OTT.

Hero just sounds too masculine for a girl, but I wouldn't use it for a boy either because it's too pretentious.

I really like Hero but it's a GP, really.

I think it's really sweet. I've always liked it because of Much Ado About Nothing (my oldest favourite Shakespeare play, I used to be really into it).

What are you thinking for combos? A few ideas–

Hero Katharina
Hero Katharine
Hero Katarzyna
Hero Fredrika
Hero Gertruda
Hero Beatrix
Hero Beatrice (a double Much Ado name!)
Hero Joanna
Hero Josephine
Hero Jehanne
Hero Griselda
Hero Guinevere
Hero Imperiosa
Hero Emilia
Hero Magdalene
Hero Marguerite
Hero Melisande
Hero Odilia
Hero Minerva
Hero Dionysia
Hero Édith
Hero Célimène
Hero Bernadine

Not sure.

I like its' history and the meaning behind it. The problem I see is that it's too much of a common word to be used. I get enough jokes on my own name and it's not even close to the commonness of Hero.
