I adore
Hero as a girls' name. I'm not having kids any time soon, so this is completely hypothetical, but would it be completely ridiculous on a real person? Is it usable?
Frankly, I expect most of the reaction to it to be pretty negative. It should be just a guilty pleasure, but I just love it so much. I like girls' names that end in 'o' in general, and I think the sounds in
Hero are so soft and pleasant. I like its numerous literary connections as well.
Anyway,
Hero on a girl? What do you think?
