HelpRe: BA
in reply to a message by Solveig
I know about a girl who has a little Odin. By and by you see the name Odin (or the Swedish form Oden) being used here. I think it's pompous. There are better names from Norse Mythology, such as Thor and Frej.
Atlas is not a good idea.
I have a soft spot for Echo, but I wouldn't use it. I guess she would have to hear "Echo...cho...cho..." all her life.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

What makes Thor and Frej better names than Odin? Isn't it just as good to be associated with wisdom as with strength or virility? Given the associations with phallic fertility Frej might come across as a much stranger choice. In some ways, Thor seems even more conspicuous given the current popularity of the Marvel superhero.

Hi !!!
I agree with you Caprice!!!!
I love the myth of Echo & Narcissus but it is actually a tragedy so a girl named echo could be quite sad...wonderful, but sad. And Echo (written eco) is a word and I know that few people who I will meet would firstly think about the myth...I love mythology but not everybody have the same interest.
I'm interested in what you said about Oden.
You are right! Also in Italy if you meet an Atena or Demetra is very strange and also rare. But other mythological names are more common anyway.
Byeeeeeeeeeee

I had a co-worker who named his son T.yr. I think it's awesome. He later had a daughter too and named her Ey.ra. (punctuation because I don't want him to be able to find this is he googles his children's names).
I admire that sibset very much, though it would be even better if they had kept the Eira-spelling.
