Dido or Hero?

[kawaii]

Or anything similar. I really love Dido, though is it really too close to the word Dildo?

Neither.

Both naff.

Please don't call your child Dido. Please.

I wouldn't use Dido for the reason you stated immature
Hero I think is pretty

Neither, but it's not my baby!

How about
Milo
Hugo
Theo
Cleo
Thea

Not keen on either, but if I had to choose one of the two it would be Hero as he would be called Dildo by his friends (and enemies) for all of his life.

I like Spam, thats a good solid name, Spam or maybe Jar.

She really suits Dido, I know I can't really do it but I want to

Is this for a girl? Both are girls names (Dido and Aeneas, and Much Ado About Nothing).

How about Isolde (keeping in the opera theme), or Hera (it's suggested that's where Hero came from).

Hera is lovely.

Not sure about Dido or Hero. Hero is prettier but requires a very confident child to pull off.

What about Pheadra or Minerva.

Yes it's for a girl. I did prefer Hera to Hero but i've been told the correct pronunciation of Hera is Hair-a not Here-a so I'm not keen anymore.

Both horribly pretentious and Dido will always be too close to Dildo.

Even Dido isn't actually called Dido, she is callled Florian Cloud

Don't do it op, settle down with the 1001 baby names and hunt again

Any Japanese connection OP?

Dido is lovely. Not keen on Hero for a girl. Actually not that keen on Hero full stop.

Hero

That's a good point about having to be v. confident to carry off Hero LadyMargolotta and I'm quite shy so I should knock Hero off the list.

No sadly no Japanese connection. DD is half Macedonian.

I quite like Dido, but prefer it as a nickname for Dinah/Diana. Not a fan of Hero; just gets confusing as it's a girls name in terms of literary precedence, but a male term...

I do like Diana! Maybe that could work Minty82. I had initially knocked Diana off the list for being a bit too middle aged.

The couple of Hiros I've known have been male and Japanese.

So Hero to me sounds like a bloke's name. Or that you're copying Myleene Klass as she recently had a daughter called Hero,

Dildo is a straight no.

The myleene connection is enough to put anyone off

I'm not sure whuch would be worse, someone mistaking me for Dildo or someone thinking I was named after the most boring singer of all time.

Diana is lovely and quite unusual these days. I always think it's quite a 1940's glamorous gal type name.

It's Phaedra. A then E. (btw!)

Medea?
Antigone?
