Eros!?

Boy Names
1

I was thinking of the name [name]Eros[/name]…I know it’s a bit of a heavy name but me and bf just love everything about it!!!

It has meaning to me and my bf also:

It’s a Greek name- my bf [name]Noah[/name] comes from a very Greek family
It’s a Greek Mythological name- I love all of the myths about [name]Cupid[/name]/[name]Eros[/name]!
[name]Eros[/name]/[name]Cupid[/name] in the myths is a Greek God of love and the son of [name]Aphrodite[/name]/[name]Venus[/name]
It’s a historical name
It reminds us of archery- which we are passionate about
We think it could age fairly well
Bf and I [name]BOTH[/name] like it!! (we don’t agree on most boy names)
It sounds good with bf’s last name
It’s a unique name- so he wouldn’t be the one of many Jacobs, Liams or Tylers or even Baileys (which is actually a bit popular for boys in our neighborhood)

[name]Do[/name] you think all of our reasons can out weight the bad things about [name]Eros[/name] (whatever they are)???

Also what was/is your honest first impression of [name]Eros[/name]??? :slight_smile:

Thank ya! ~ [name]Amanda[/name] & [name]Noah[/name] :smiley:

There was a singer with that name, I heard him on a trio to europe and it sounded really good. Here is his wiki link: Eros Ramazzotti - Wikipedia

I love [name]Eros[/name] because it sounds both strong and soft which is what I prefer for boy names

[name]Do[/name] a quick google search on the word, and then really think about it.

Also type in eros definition, this is what you’ll pull up straight on google with no digging or even clicking a link.

e·ros/ˈeräs/
The god of love, son of [name]Aphrodite[/name].
Sexual love or desire.

I just can’t picture giving this name to a child.

I believe that someone on this site has the name [name]Eros[/name]. Maybe you could find her and ask how she feels about the name.

I know this sounds oh so strange but every time I look at this thread all I can think of is the Greek food, Yiros, this makes it unlikable for me, although I love Greek food. Safe to say I’m not exactly a fan of this as a name and the definition meogan wrote above worries me… no little boy wants a name that means that!
But after all it’s up to you, only you can decide whats best, we can only give opinions :slight_smile:
Good [name]Luck[/name]!

[name]Eros[/name] means desire, passion, intimate love. The word erotic comes from [name]Eros[/name]
Still doesn’t bother me, no more than [name]Desiree[/name] bothers me

This does bother me. ‘Intimate love’ means romantic or sexual love. [name]Eros[/name] means specifically this kind of love, not familial love or love between friends or any other kind of love. I don’t think it’s an appropriate name for a child, not to mention how high the teasing potential would be.

I do appreciate your reasons and the meaning [name]Eros[/name] has to you, but I’m afraid they don’t weigh out the negatives, imo.

Here are some suggestions, if you’d like them.

Names that sound similar:
[name]Eero[/name]
[name]Emrys[/name]
[name]Enzo[/name]
[name]Errol[/name]
[name]Eryx[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]

Greek boys names (I think these are all Greek…):
[name]Aris[/name] or [name]Aristotle[/name]
[name]Darius[/name]
[name]Hermes[/name]
[name]Kostas[/name]
[name]Leander[/name]
[name]Marios[/name]
[name]Nikos[/name]
[name]Orion[/name]
[name]Ozias[/name]
[name]Spiro[/name]
[name]Stavros[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]

Alternatively, [name]Archer[/name].

[name]How[/name] about Ares? The Greek god of war so it has the Greek connection. I love the name Ares. I think [name]Eros[/name] is fine. I never consider a name’s meaning so it’s meaning doesn’t bother me. I just consider connotations which I don’t think is a problem [name]Eros[/name]-most people will just think it’s an unusual name. Sex-crazed boys are commonly called [name]Romeo[/name]'s, not [name]Eros[/name].
