Pegasus and Philomena?

[GetOutOfMyBath]

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

Neigh to Pegasus.

I like them! I shall thumb my nose to all of MN! I like the names!

I have a son with an unusual name

Philomena is fine ... Pegasus is a flying horse and a cartoon character

Artemis and apollo ? Actual twins, actual names

Janus and Juno ?
Athena and Aries?

Ooh Hector and Helen?

Hector you? Do you mean Heckle? I have an MA in Lit and haven't a clue what that means

To text or is a real thing

However, I've never heard ANYONE in my whole life say this. Or even refer to it.

Heckle - yes.

Perhaps step away from the Classics for now and join us in 2017

Christ no. I would judge you massively for being such a pretentious twat that you saddled your children with ghastly "Look at me, I'm so achingly unusual" names.

Because let's face it, this is about your desire to have people think you're different, rather than the fact that you've given an iota of thought about a child having to live his life named after a flying horse.

This sort of shit makes me fucking despair.

No, just no.

Have you considered Rumi and Sir Carter?

OP, you have a a degree in classics AND you are considering Pegasus for a name? Shame on you. People with little or second hand only knowledge of the classics might have an excuse - you don't. Grab your Grimal and try harder.

So many twins and brothers and sisters on Greek mythology as well!

Neigh to Pegasus

Diana and Dobbin?

Why not Houyhnhnm and Mary Magdalene?

Cute!

I once saw a parent shouting out Zeus at a 6 yr old boy. 8 years later me and dh still laugh about it. All we thought when we heard it was how pretentious and attention seeking it made the parents look. And how it had given poor little Zeus a lot to live up to. I sometimes think about teenage Zeus and how he is coping with such a loaded name. At least he is compared to a God, you want to name your child after a flying horse can you imagine the ridicule.

Hector's a great name

How about Firenze? That would be a halfway horse house.

How about Farlap? That's interesting and horse related. And as someone on another thread said "it sounds nice and that's the most important thing about a name"

Shadowfax? Shad for short?

Hector and Hero. Both classical, both meet sticky ends. Jobs a good'un.

Perseus is nicer than Pegasus
