[Opinions] Re: Ariston
in reply to a message by noel
The first point kinda makes sense since Greece was (and still is to an extent) an elitist society.I actually think Aristocles sounds a lot more pretentious than Ariston.

They're about equal to me. I mentioned Aristocles specifically, because I was wondering if I would like Ariston more if I made an attempt to ignore the classist overtones I hear in Aristo names as a group...and the answer was not really, because even then, I'd prefer other things.

Aristocles doesn't pass under the "elitist" radar as much for me, either. I think because it has the full "aristoc-" part instead of just "aristo-".
