Help[Opinions] Re: Nyx
in reply to a message by iris
Yeah, I like it so much, but it seems sort of not usable, hence the Question. (I may eventually have a pup with this name, though!)
Thanks for the suggestions. If I see a combo that jumps out, I'll move it back to people name possibility. :) The problem is that the ones I think are lovely and so perfect (like Isolde Nyx) just seem even more out there than Nyx itself. Alas. Thanks, though.
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.

I just realized
that I didn't answer the second part of your first question. Could I see it on a real live child? Yes, but not on my real live child. On someone else's, someone else much more non-conformist than I. Someone who writes FU in the memo part of their property tax payment check. Someone more free-spirited who associates Nyx more with mythology and less with nihilism.

I like it because of the mythology. haha... Appealing as it is, I wouldn't ever write FU on my tax return, though.

Ignoring the later offspring, I think it's really cool to think about how night itself (which is seen as dismal and, well, dark) bears essentially Dawn and Day. I quite like the night for its own merits as well, but the goddess story of Nyx is a solid reminder of night's intricate union with day.
