When the Meaning Ruins It!

[name_m]Casimir[/name_m] “destroyer of peace” is the one that always gets me… I love the name, but I worry that naming my kid this will make it too literal haha

It’s still one of my top names, but I hate that [name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m] means ‘warlike/aggressive’. It does nothing to support my ‘Ptolemy’s not heavy at all and actually a super cute name for a kid’ agenda :roll_eyes:[name_f][/name_f].

Part of the “alone” connection might also be from the recent [name_f]Enola[/name_f] [name_m]Holmes[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] movie series with [name_f]Millie[/name_f] [name_m]Bobbie[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], where she introduces herself by saying that her mom named her [name_f]Enola[/name_f] because it’s alone spelled backwards. I don’t know how popular those movies are, and hopefully that part of them doesn’t end up too memorable over time!
