Pegasus and Philomena?

[GetOutOfMyBath]

for twin boy and girl...? I appreciate its a bit unusual....

no - Pegasus is hideous. Philomena isn't much better.

do you have any other names you like?

mmmm... plenty of food for thought!

I love classical names but Pegasus is ridiculous. Philomena I like.

I love unusual names, but I don't think it's a very good idea to call a person Pegasus.

Pegasus! No way. I would laugh. A lot.

Please don't call your baby Pegasus.

I don't normally come onto the baby name boards but this trip was worth it!

Phineus is nice as a pp suggested. Phin is a nice nickname and not too out there. Pegasus is a bit too unusual for me.

I quite like Philomena though.

Please don't call your babies those names! Imagine them shortened... Phil and Peg, female Phil and male Peg.

Magic horse. They will be ripped unmerciful at school.

Atalanta and Alexander
Philomela and Apollo

Pegasus was the name of a kebab shop in the town where I went to uni. They gave me the worst food poisoning I've ever had. Please don't do it.

The fact that you replied with "food for thought" and not "shit, what was I thinking? Thank god I've got people to talk sense into me!" is rather worrying.

No

What about when Pegasus starts high school... really think about it? And I mean really, really think about it. What if he's not the cool/popular kid. He'll be ripped to shreds.
What if Pegasus turned out to be a normal human working at ASDA or Tesco or the school janny instead of the successful money maker I expect you think the name conjures ... do you think that name would really go down well? Even if he was a CEO, banker or whatever other successful career... that name will hold him back.

Maybe for a middle same.

Same for Philomena

No. philomena fine, but if you shout for Pegasus in a local park people are going to laugh.

I too wondered whether you are expecting a foal.

I don't like either name, but Pegasus is in a special league of awfulness all of its own.

I'm afraid I would struggle to keep a straight face if I ever came across a boy or a man called Pegasus.

Surely you aren't or weren't serious. Please don't. The poor child will have to live with the consequences.

Dido and Hector.
Still massively pretentious 😉 but in a cool way and they're lovely names in themselves.

Oh dear Lord no.
I suggest Cyclops and Medusa.

I adore Hector. But can't get away from the fact that it also means to hector...and I know children can hector you so it seems particularly perverse to call your child Hector

What about Muffin and Mule.

Zebedee for a boy?

Sorry. Being facetious.

Bellerephon was the human of course. Even if you were expecting a horse, however, the myths about Pegasus are WEIRD. Similarly Apollo or Artemis - I probably would stick to stories with fewer grim endings. Hector is a bit safer.

OMG Get a grip in the real world. This child has to lives with its name for the next 90 or so years. Have some sense!!!!
