I love this name. The pronunciation and the Greek background make it incredibly cool. I’d love this name for a character or similar. However I think it’s strange that someone would want to name their child after sexual love. That’s a weird thing to put on your child.

I can't say I'm dissuaded by the religious baggage of the name, or by the varied roles the deity was meant to take in context.
Though the willingness of those made aware of such things using that mytho-history as an excuse to get pretentious rather than curious about the adaptation of faith in relation to human experience is always gonna bother me.

Despite falling in love with Psyche (which does not really translate as soul, but more like "life" or "to breathe") the divide between Eros and Aphrodite on their shared domain is thus:
Aphrodite: Love between men and women.
Eros: Love between men.
But, one must consider that there was no heterosexuality or homosexuality to the Greeks. It all fell under "love."

The tale of Eros & Psyche is a well known Greek myth. It featured the God of Love falling in love himself- with a mortal woman his mother (Aphrodite) despised. However, despite the many hardships and mishaps that came with the romance, Love (Eros) & Soul (Psyche) were forever joined.

I always pronunced this name "AER-os". It sounds very pretty, but I wouldn't call my kid Eros. It comes from a Greek word meaning "sexual love". I always thought Eros was a girl's name. Erato is the muse of erotic poetry.

Spelled backwards, it says "Sore." Hmm...

I think erotic love is something nice. But I wouldn't use the name anyway. Although it's an old and kind of time-honored name, it would be associated with nasty things, like porn.

Eros in not purely the God of erotic love. Eros is actually the god of love in general. He is actually one of the oldest of Gods in Greek mythology (not age wise in the myths, just first worshiped and 'created' by Greeks). He was originally a handsome young man, and in later myths transitioned to a cherub. He always carried arrows, two sets: one tipped in gold and ended with dove feathers, which caused love, and one lead tipped with owl feathers, which caused aversion. He traveled with his mother, Aphrodite, and did her bidding in causing mortals and gods to fall in (or out) of love.
