Orpheus and Hephaestus
WDYT of these names? How usable are they as a FNs/MNs? What combos would you make?I'd probably consider Orpheus usable as a MN. I think naming your son after Orpheus would be like wishing them good luck in musical talent, but maybe it's too tragic to use?I think Hephaestus is just a vastly underrated character who needs more attention, but the name doesn't seem as usable to me (even though they're similar name structures and I'd only consider them as middle names anyway).

I agree with Hephaestus being underrated, I think he's a more worthy god to name your kid after than most. I really want to say it's usable as a given name but it is a hard name to swallow. But I don't want to relegate it to the middle name position either...I also really like Hephaestion

Hephaestion is cool. (Also, does Hephaestia exist?)

I don't know but I love it!Edit: oh apparently it's the name of an Ancient Greek city, looks like fair game to me

I love Orpheus. It sounds so cool.Hephaestus sounds interesting, but better as a middle name.
