Re: Sappho
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Well, I would hesitate to use it in real life because of the connotation. Sappho was a brilliant woman, no doubt, but a lot of people would hear the word and think, "lesbian." Not that there is anything wrong with being a lesbian, but I just wouldn't want my kid to have a name so closely tied with "sapphic." Might be a bit of a problem later in life.
I hope no one hates me for this, but I've gotta be honest. :/
Other than that, I think your combos are very pretty. Here are some of my favorites:
Sappho Ursula
Sappho Rosamund
Sappho Rosalind
Sappho Regina
Sappho Matilda
Sappho Lillian
Sappho Judith
Sappho Eleanor
Sappho Aurelia
