Apollo

What are everyone’s thoughts on [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]? [name_f]My[/name_f] husband loves this name ans we recently met a boy named [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] with the nickname [name_u]Po[/name_u]. I’m not sold, especially with our other kids names (Connor, [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] “Willa” and Caspar). I much prefer [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] but again these names really stand out with our other kids names.

Thoughts? Opinions?

[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] is bright and cool! Gentle but bold! It is a bit different to your kids, however, I think your set feels like a set of siblings from a book and it has this cohesive yet eclectic feel (a contradiction, I know) and to me, [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] (and Atlas) fit right in with that :slight_smile: You could also do [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]?

I think [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] suits the pioneering, rugged feel of your other better and I personally prefer it (just think it’s easier for different ages and I like it’s clippedness) but [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] nn [name_f]Oli[/name_f] is very cool (better than “Atty” or “Lassy”) and would work once you used it - it has grown on me more and more just typing this!

I love [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]! Such a cool choice. I agree with you, I don’t think it fits perfectly with your other kids names but I don’t think that’s really a huge issue. It doesn’t stand out drastically. [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] is great too

It doesn’t seem to fit the vibe of your other kids names, which kinda give me the feel of traditional and classic literature. I also personally just don’t care for names that are very famous from mythology - gods and creatures that often either have a tough reputation to live up to or have gotten into some less than savory hijinks. I just think [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] is one of those names that when you hear someone with it you kinda have an image/idea you might be expecting to go with it where you wouldn’t have that with a non-famous name.
