I am watching a film on Netflix named Saving Zoë and the two main girls on it are sisters named well Zoë and Echo.

I had never thought of Echo as a name but the more I heard it being said by the people on the film and actually seeing someone go through life with it (even if it was just on film) made it sound even more real. Not sure I'd put if on my list of top choices but definitely got me thinking

What do you think of it?

Hey I don't thinks it's as usuable as other Greek names. I personally wouldn't use it but each to their own 😃. On a side note I really like Hera.

No way. Cruel.

Your baby your choice, choice, choice.

Sorry but I'd want to say her name multiple times with decreasing volume "Echo, Echo, Echo... "

It makes me think of Ecco the Dolphin.

Echo from the Greek myth... no way.
Or even its normal meaning - who the heck would want to be a mere echo?Confused

My friend has a wire haired Daschund called Echo,

Do they have another dachshund and this one always barks second?Grin

Amazon echo so no I wouldn't use it personally

Shmithecat2 · 07/05/2020 23:26

My friend has a wire haired Daschund called Echo, so it's a 'No' from me.

JKScot4 · 07/05/2020 23:25

And The Bunnymen?

FourPlasticRings · 07/05/2020 23:25

It's the name and wake word of my Amazon Echo dot (you can choose from Alexa, Computer, Echo and Amazon)! I say it a lot during the day. I wouldn't name a child that, personally.

Well there’s a fairly sad Greek legend about her so that would put me off.

LouiseTrees · 07/05/2020 23:24

What like the Amazon Echo? First thing I thought of sorry. Might’ve been a nice name in the past but not now.
