Re: The Furies: Alecto, Megara, and Tisiphone
in reply to a message by erb816
I like them all, I think Megara is the most obviously 'aesthetic' for modern English speakers but I actually like Alecto and Tisiphone more. As for how useable they are... I think people who'd find them 'weird' might not be aware of the mythological association, but people who would be for any reason put off by the mythological association would find them less 'weird', so... mixed bag. I think they're totally useable, but mostly for middle names. I really like Tisiphone.
And to be honest, they probably are useable. I know a couple who named their firstborn baby joy Terpsichore (which I personally think is almost..."ugly" and definitely 'weird'er than most names) and there was a bit of curiosity and stumbling over pronounciation and then nobody batted an eyelid.
