HelpRe: Gaius?
in reply to a message by Hannah Ruth
I'm surprised you think Gaius will get teased less than Gaelan-- the 'gay' in Gaius is more prominent, largely because of the common joke of adding 'us' to the end of every word for faux Latin (the show I'm in features a fake dentist calling his tools things like tongulus depressicus and drillus maximus). Also because of this, I can see him getting called Gaius Maximus a lot.
However, the pronunciation doesn't exactly have a 'gay' in (GIE-us, not GAY-us), so if the kids aren't looking for ways to tease him, they might not notice the 'gay' at all.
If it's a middle name, all of this is of course a non-issue.
I like it...but only for a middle name, because it sounds rather overblown. I just can't imagine calling a four year old with mud on his face Gaius.
