i'm having a baby today, which do I pick?

[DiscoBiscuits]

ELCS today.
Having a baby girl. Need a short easy to spell name but want something unusual and a strong with a mythical or literary link.
Shortlist consists of (after much much discussion):
Hero
Isis
People being very sniffy about both choice but past caring frankly.
Which name do I go with?

[ILaughWhenPeopleFallOver]

Isis is fab, hero is horrible. Hera is nice though if you want similar and sticks with the goddess theme.

[Oriunda]

Isis is lovely

[zirca]

Isis

[ImASecretTwigletNibbler]

Hero is in for years of teasing (and sounds like a boy's name to me) but Isis is lovely. Congratulations!

[fideline]

Isis is a beautiful name.

[fideline]

I was at school with a girl called Hero and loved it until that annoying sleb tv presenter used it.

How about Dido or Clio?

[LittleMissDisorganized]

Hera perhaps? Happy Birth-day, hope all goes safely.

[Delphiniumsblue]

You can't be sure that they have the personality to fit Hero, it could be a nightmare for a shy child.

[Bowlersarm]

Isis. Very pretty name.

[Mrswellyboot]

No no no to hero

Isis is stunning though

[ASmidgeofMidge]

Isis. Definiteiy. Lyra did spring to mind, as a last-minute alternative!

[ShinyTurd]

Serious question, are you likely to be shouting Hero or 'Ero. Really annoys be when people call their son's Harry but it seems to change into 'Arry. Nickname perhaps??

Sorry, not helpful, bitch perhaps. Neither name would be my choice but Isis is slightly better. Good luck with the birth.

[DiscoBiscuits]

Hero.
I don't drop me aitches.

[EyelinerQueen]

I love Hero. It's fabulous.

Don't like Isis. It's a bit meh.

Juno is gorgeous too.

[CarolineKnappShappey]

Even though you get the references to myth and Shakespeare, people will think you named her after the kind if a Hero that we're all holding out for.

Isis is better as people less educated than yourselves won't get confused by it

[Andcake]

Like both but would go for Isis as Hero is the name of that awful Myleene Klass' daughter.
Good luck with the elc

[TheWomanTheyCallJayne]

Like both
Prefer Hera because of how other people will react

How about Hebe?

[ThreeBecameFour]

Isis

[kerala]

Hero is cringeworthy sorry but it is. Poor child. Isis much better.

[PreciousPeach]

Love love Hero....hiw about Juno?

[magentasurprise]

Hero would be incredibly hard to pull off for most children so a bit mean to call a child this in my opinion.

Isis is definitely better, although not a personal favourite.

[Lancelottie]

For currently unusual, try Diana or Helen.

I know a nice Athena (and an Athene, perhaps less easy to spell).

[lottiegarbanzo]

Isis.

hero is hard to live up to
