Would love your thoughts on the name [name_u]Neo[/name_u] for a boy. Any hesitation for this name?
[name_f]My[/name_f] associations are the meaning (“new”),The [name_u]Matrix[/name_u] character, and the singer Ne-Yo. It’s got a cool sound and feels very on-trend with the rising popularity of names like [name_u]Leo[/name_u] and [name_u]Nova[/name_u].

I like it a lot and recommend it on here often. Never get any positive feedback about it though, but it is so good.
[name_u]Neo[/name_u] is gorgeous! I would definitely use it 
It’s very matrix, but it’s also on trend with names like [name_u]Leo[/name_u] and [name_u]Rio[/name_u] so 
[name_u]Neo[/name_u] is cool! I think of “new”
I like the sound of it. [name_m]Just[/name_m] be prepared to hear lots of [name_u]Matrix[/name_u], “chosen one” and red pill or blue pill comments from those of us in the older generations.
Other kids probably won’t know or care though.

i love it! 
don’t quite link the matrix association but it’s a beautiful name
[name_u]Super[/name_u] Matrix-y. I would use it as a nickname for [name_m]Antonio[/name_m] 
It is very [name_u]Matrix[/name_u] but I bet in real life it would be awesome!
Immediately thought of The [name_u]Matrix[/name_u], and also of the prefix “new”.
I’d say the film association will be pretty strong for a lot of people, but the name does have a very “cool” ring to it!
Again I immediately thought of The [name_u]Matrix[/name_u] but I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all but I just don’t think it works on a real person tbh. It just doesn’t sound like a proper name for a human. That’s just my opinion
Summary
thank you for pointing that out! Not sure what happened as that comment also posted on the right post…
On [name_u]Neo[/name_u]: it does have a cool, fresh sound - like [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and [name_u]Leo[/name_u] combined but it’s own name too. It does have a Matrix-y feel but that could be fun

it seems i’m in the minority here, so it shouldn’t be a problem, but my first thought was neo-n*zi so it wouldn’t be my pick.

I’ve met one (maybe more that one actually), and I think it works fine! Wearable, if not my favorite. I’m hesitant that it’s a common add-on prefix to mean “new,” but that could also be part of its charm. The [name_m]Keanu[/name_m] association sharpens it nicely.
Yes. Mine as well… though I’m sure not everyone’s will be, which makes it feel more usable!

It’s my cat’s name. He was named for The [name_u]Matrix[/name_u] character because he’s solid black like the deja Vu cat that crosses Neo’s path. I love it! I could definitely see it on a human.
