I’m considering giving my son an unusual name, and I’d appreciate opinions on the names I am trying to decide between… Also, I was wondering what other people’s unusually-named children have experienced - any excessive teasing (we are quite an eccentric family, anyway) or annoyance at having to constantly spell/explain it?
The names are Pegasus, Adrastos (it’s Greek), Tarka, [name]Peregrine[/name], [name]Ezekiel[/name], [name]Cato[/name] or [name]Marmaduke[/name].
Thank you!
Of your list, [name]Peregrine[/name], [name]Ezekiel[/name], and [name]Cato[/name] should make out just fine, and Pegasus would elicit the most negative feedback from children and adults.
P.S. I know a couple with a baby [name]Ezekiel[/name], called [name]Zeke[/name], and I heard of no negative reactions to the name; it was cute
[name]Ezekiel[/name] is a great name i also like the name [name]Xerxes[/name] (zerk-sees) its greek too.
Thank you for the advice, both of you!
Also, I love your suggestion sophieliz456, [name]Xerxes[/name] is very cool … although I can’t help thinking of a pharamceutical brand or some such …
I’m going to post more on my decision over at the longer version of this thread, in the What Are You Considering Naming Your [name]Baby[/name] section.
Again, thank you so much!
[name_u]Cato[/name_u]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. My favorite unusual boy’s name is [name_m]Jove[/name_m].
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] is by far my favorite on your list! It’s different and unique, but not so far out that it would be unusable or call for teasing. Pegasus, for me, is definitely too much.
