Rigel could be my favourite male name. I love both English and Croatian pronunciation, yet everything is against this name. Even though it is beautiful to me, I feel repelled by the fact that its meaning is foot. And in Croatian, first three letters are the same as in the word "vomit"... too sad. I love love love it, but even naming a cat this way would be in danger of teasing and misunderstandment.

I have this name, and well...Straight up, frick this name. Too many people ask about it.
I think it's a pretty name, but better as a middle name. I don't think there'd be much problem of explaining what the name meant; they could easily say, "I was named after one of the brightest stars in the sky" and it would be the truth.
