HelpIt's so awkward to me
in reply to a message by Lavinia
It's always confused me that "hero" is a male word ("heroine" of course being the female form) even though Hero in Greek mythology was a female. The name used in English speaking countries drives up the same confusion on me - it would be weird on a boy because it's a girls' name, but weird on a girl because it's a boys' noun.
I do like girls' names that end in O a lot, and I don't have a problem with the fact that it's a word, it's just that the clashing gender thing makes me feel like you couldn't win with this name.
I think Echo is a nice Greek girls' word name alternative that ends with O if that interests you at all. I know a girl named Echo.

I agree.
It's better suited for pets, I'd say. They wouldn't have to deal with the confusion and possible teasing that a child named Hero would.
