HelpGalatea is...
in reply to a message by Lawruh
...The name of the statue Pygmalion creates in Greek myth. It was always one of my favourite stories. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmalion_%28mythology%29
And there's a lovely painting of Pygmalion and Galatea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PygmalianGalatea.jpg
That's my sticking point with Atlanta, too. I try and think of the good--without it, there'd be no REM!--but it's tough sometimes. :( I'm thinking it'd be best as a middle name.
In fact, I think they'd both be better as middle names, but I like coming up with combos both ways. I mean, how cool would it be to meet John Ray and Galatea? Totally cool, I'm telling you. ;)

Ohhh, yes! I remember that myth. It's a very nice story. =)
I know what you mean. It's always fun to play around with the totally exotic and obscure names as fns, haha. Lately, I love the name Zephyrine, and I think it'd be an awesome first name, but I don't think I'd really use it as such in real life.
