Any idea why this is happening?
This is my daughter Sarah Elaine:
You say: What a pretty name. Hello, Sarah.
You think: Sarah is a nice name, but so overused...
This is my son Rafael Cesaire.
You say: What is up, Rafael?
You think: Hmm. What nationality is he? I don't mean to sound rascist, but I would love this name on a Hispanic boy and dislike it on a white. I'm not rascist, promise...
This is my daughter Lucy Hermione.
You say: Hello, Lucy.
You think: Lucy. How utterly childish. No growing room with that one.
This is my son Rylan Patrokles.
You say: Hey, Rylan.
You think: Rylan. I like it muy muy mucho. It's a hot name. Patrokles?? Is that Greek? Cause if it is (which means it's probably pronounced something like pa-TRO-klees) it's ok. But I'm picturing it pronounced pa-TRO-k'ls... Which goes right beside Lyle and Harpo. *snicker*
This is my son Leonidas Beowulf, we call him Leon.
You say: Hey Leon.
You think: I like Leo better than Leon. As for the other names? ...I'm not even gonna touch those. *grimace*

you're right, Patrokles is Greek, and is pronounded pa-TRO-klees. Patrokles was the lover and companion of Achilles in the original Illiad.

He was also, as indicated in my signature, totally Achilles's cousin.
(He actually was not, it's a joke on the movie Troy. *whistles* Definetly not here...didn't say anything... who said that?)
