[name]Hi[/name] guys, time for another name thread! [name]Just[/name] to remind you I will make one every couple days just to get your thoughts on each name separately. This will be my fourth one.
The names I have left to ask you about are: [name]Ambrose[/name], [name]Emilio[/name], [name]Roscoe[/name] and [name]Viggo[/name]. (I already did threads for [name]Valentino[/name]/[name]Valentine[/name] and [name]Pascal[/name] before I put them on the list).
[name]Just[/name] wanted to thank you guys for all of the feedback so far!!
Now this one will be all about [name]Apollo[/name]
Please tell us your thoughts on [name]Apollo[/name]! Be completely honest!
It will also really help us if you could tell us a bit about why you like or don’t like [name]Apollo[/name]…
By the way; we won’t be using a nickname if we choose this one.
I’m not so much into the Olympian names myself, but Apollo is a cool name and it’d make a nice addition to your list. The one thing I worry about is Apollo not being versatile enough. It seems like an Apollo would have to be a little “out there” to pull it off, and he’d have to be the type of guy who wouldn’t be bothered by some of the more, um, interesting mythology about Apollo.
I actually prefer the name [name]Apollos[/name]. I don’t care for [name]Apollo[/name] because it comes so close to being a name that I like, but it’s missing the S that completes it! [name]Apollos[/name] has a lot of things going for it that I like that may or may not matter to you: cool, sleek, Biblical without sounding “religious” or “homeschooly,” ancient but futuristic sounding at the same time, familiar and recognizable without being common, spelling and pronunciation are pretty clear-cut. I can’t say I’m a fan of [name]Apollo[/name] because again, it feels incomplete to me, but I think [name]Apollos[/name] would be a great name to consider.
[name]Apollo[/name] always makes me think of the [name]Rocky[/name] movies! I think that an [name]Apollo[/name] would have to live up to a lot; be an athletic and outgoing personality.
I love names from Greek mythology, [name]Apollo[/name] included. It is one of my favorite names, and I would love to meet somebody named [name]Apollo[/name]. Some people might think it is “pretentious”, but I hate that word when used to describe names. To me it just seems like a good solid name with very interesting history and meaning. I don’t think somebody would have to have one specific type of personality to pull off the name [name]Apollo[/name]. I can imagine somebody studious and intelligent named [name]Apollo[/name], as well as somebody athletic and more out going.
In all honesty, I have never met anybody whose name didn’t suit them. Except for once, I met a very pretty young woman named Yollanda. I always considered that name to be old ladyish and thought it was so strange to meet somebody young named Yollanda. All it did was change my perception of the name. Now I consider the name to be fresh and elegant. Everybody makes their name their own.
Honestly, I just think of [name]Apollo[/name] 13 the movie, and I don’t know why because [name]Apollo[/name] has to do with mythology. However, I do really like some of the other names that you are going to ask about in other threads, particularly [name]Emilio[/name], [name]Roscoe[/name], and [name]Viggo[/name].
I like [name]Apollo[/name] a lot. It’s handsome, and I think it’s recognizable as more than a name from Greek mythology because of the visibility of [name]Apolo[/name] [name]Ono[/name]. The [name]Apollo[/name] Theater and the [name]Apollo[/name] space program give it an extra cool factor in my eyes. The only real detraction for me is that lack of everyday nicknames.
I think it’s fine actually. Aside from the myth it also reminds me of [name]Apolo[/name] Ohno which is still a great reference. I know you said you didn’t plan on using one, but just in case he wants to when he’s older I think nn [name]Paul[/name] makes this name extremely accessible. =]
I think [name]Apollo[/name] is a cool name. The kind of name I could easily see on my own name list. But, I do think of Greek Mythology, which to me isn’t a bad association but might be for others. Since I’m half Swedish and grew up there, I also think of the Swedish travel company with the same name. But I like that [name]Apollo[/name] is easy to spell and pronounce, people has heard the name, but it isn’t popular. It’s a winner.
