Opinions; Partner thinks it's pretentious. I just like Greek names and love the stories surrounding him.

I’m with your partner. I hear Achilles and my association is tendon before Greece.

I like the Greek pronunciation but not the English way of saying it.

Tendon would be a great nickname

Let your husband pick the name....

It's okay. I knew a little Apollo also not Greek no one batted an eyelid. I'd give him a run of the mill middle name though

I agree with your partner.
