Are Zeus or Apollo too much?

I love these names but are they too much to live up too?

Would consider Zeus for DS2.

For a pet? No. For a kid? Hmmm, maybe.

I think Apollo is a fab name unfortunately my oh does not agree 😢

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 16/06/2020 17:34

Totally too much.

@babynamelover

Too much. I know a dog Zeus suited him. I think there's more usuable Greek legend names 😊
Cerberus would be a better name for a dog. Named after the 3 headed dog beast guarding the underworld!

Just stupid.

They were the dogs names in Magnum PI in the 80s

Hypothermia= otherwise

emilybrontescorsett · 16/06/2020 09:16

Damyankee OMG 😬😬😬
How will he ever live up to that name?
I hope he is extremely attractive and lucky enough to have the body type of an athlete (the term escapes me but it's the athletics type) hypothermia he is in for a lifetime of suffering.

Nice for a cat or dog, not so much for a human.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 16/06/2020 04:51

Please don't.

I like unusual/quirky names but these are a step too far!

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 16/06/2020 04:47

Apollo - fine if he's a rocket.
Zeus - great if he is to become a javelin thrower.

HappydaysArehere · 16/06/2020 04:35

No don’t do it.

TheAirbender · 16/06/2020 04:03

I know an adult Apollo . He’s a great big rugby playing type and totally rocks the name! Do it!

Yep.

DancingWithTheDevil · 16/06/2020 03:15

Way too much.

copperoliver · 16/06/2020 00:29

Yes. Sound like cats. X

GrumpyHoonMain · 15/06/2020 23:49

I prefer Zeus to Apollo but both are pretty solid boys names.

Immigrantsong · 15/06/2020 23:42

Zeus is a bit much.

How about:
Ares
Alexander
Perseus
Leander
Lysander
Phillip

Whataloadofshite · 15/06/2020 23:39

Naming threads on MN never fail to deliver.

HotSince82 · 15/06/2020 23:38

Fuck it.

I'd love to be named Zeus and I'm a girl.

Go for it.

7dayslater · 15/06/2020 23:38

I think they're great names. Both were on the list for DS.

Then again, I prefer a less 'traditional' name.

Mumoflittles · 15/06/2020 23:37

Love them both
